An interesting insight into the different outlooks of Chinese and Western culture.
The book is written in steadily improving English to convey the improving English of the narrator, but it is never difficult to understand.
The end peters out a bit and doesn't seem to go anywhere though.

Journal Entry 4 by Sarah-Mc-Carthy at Dublin, Co. Dublin Ireland on Wednesday, May 20, 2015
I enjoyed it. A quick read with an interesting perspective on the culture shock experienced by a young Chinese woman in London. Culture shock and linguistic struggles merge with emotional misunderstandings as she embarks on a relationship with an older, somewhat jaded, man. Easy reading without being overly facile. Recommend.
