In June 2003 Xinran began writing about China for her weekly column in the Guardian. She has covered a vast range of topics from food to sex education, and from the experiences of British mothers who have adopted Chinese daughters, to whether Chinese people do Christmas shopping.
Each of her columns inspired letters and questions and more opportunities for Xinran to shed light on the culture of her native land.
What the Chinese Don't Eat collects these pieces together for the first time to give one unique Chinese woman's perspective on the connections and differences between the lives of British and Chinese people today.

Travelling with Lawrence over the pond.Have a great day!
A world of spring rolls,
and the passion to speak
at louder than a whisper.

You know, the weird part is, that I took an interest in this book kind of randomly without actually connecting the fact that I have 3 of her other books on TBR pile! lol I have 'Sky Burials', "The Good Women of China" & "Chopsticks". I know that, in particular, I had heard great things about "Sky Burial" and had really looked forward to reading it and still didn't connect it to the same author until she brought it up in this book! XD
She has a great writing style. There's some comfortable and engaging in her language that makes you feel like you're sitting at a kitchen table with her, having a cup of coffee. It's just very easy to read.
And it also winds up being an excellent book to read before the others, as she is very open and telling about life as a woman in China. She also brings up the venture that lead to her writing "Sky Burial" which just made me want to read it more! lol
So, this was a great book and I hope it finds many more readers! ;)
