Typical American Author: This wonderful, bittersweet novel of misadventure and creeping assimilation begins in 1947, when the Shanghai-based Changs send young Ralph halfway around the world to study in New York. He sets off with two goals in mind -- to master engineering and to avoid girls at any cost.

I love reading books about people from other cultures; this one fits that need! It's interesting to see how the characters interact, make choices, and behave so differently that I ever would.
