Proverbs, Marriage, and Other Things I Don't Understand
by Sasha Finch Sasha Finch is a well-meaning Western husband armed with curiosity, bad Mandarin, and the belief that he can understand Chinese proverbs if he squints hard enough. His wife, Ly, disagrees, politely, at first.
What follows is a crash course in culture, marriage, and culinary survival:
Heartfelt, sharp, and genuinely laugh-out-loud, this is a memoir for anyone who's ever loved across cultures, tried to learn from their mistakes, or tried (and failed) to hold chopsticks like a normal person.
- Flipping the family fish (bad)
- Sweeping away New Year luck (worse)
- Making quinoa fried rice (unforgivable)
- Using proverbs on his wife (pray for him)
Heartfelt, sharp, and genuinely laugh-out-loud, this is a memoir for anyone who's ever loved across cultures, tried to learn from their mistakes, or tried (and failed) to hold chopsticks like a normal person.
