“Falling in love with a foreign culture can be a tempting love affair: one that gives you a chance to escape yourself and the constraints of your own upbringing. But when it goes wrong, it goes really wrong, as Susan Blumberg-Kason’s gripping memoir amply illustrates. Her Chinese Prince Charming turns out to be anything but, the cross-cultural confusions magnified by his instability, and Susan must discover who she really is to find the strength to protect her son — and herself. GOOD CHINESE WIFE is a refreshing, painfully honest look at what happens when the mask of romance, both cultural and personal, is dropped, revealing the stranger beneath.”
