"A fascinating fusion of memoir, manners, and cultural history from a successful businesswoman well-versed in the unique challenges of working in contemporary China. Collinsworth tells the story of the year she spent writing a Western etiquette guide for Chinese businessmen, which went on to be a huge best seller in China and formed the basis for new curriculum supported by the Chinese Ministry of Education, creating a counterpart that both explains Chinese practices and reveals much about our own Western culture.
