Xiaolu Guo: A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers (Paperback, 2007, Chatto & Windus) 4 stars

Review of 'A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Really enjoyed this touching and often laugh-out-loud funny novel.
It's about love, about language and translation, and then differences of thinking in Chinese and English. And some of her observations, especially about English food, from the perspective of a newly arrived visitor from China are hilarious.
