Beijing Tai Tai: Life, Laughter and Motherhood in China's Capital
Tania McCartney
'Beijing Tai Tai' is a collection of witty observations on Beijing expat life, from a mother, wife & woman intent on capturing her love-hate affair with China. Intensely personal, at times a little controversial, it's a rollercoaster ride of honesty & openness as a mother & wife (tai tai) juggles suburban family life in urban Beijing.
It's a book about bad hair & silk markets as much as it is about China's quest to stay true to its ancient origins, while the world sucks this complicated country headlong into the future. 'Beijing Tai Tai' is a book for anyone keen to learn more about this diverse & culturally rich country. It's for anyone, from anywhere, who knows what it's like to fall in love, explore new worlds & live with challenges.
Both funny & deeply sad, its content epitomises the dichotomy that typifies China.
