The White Ghost's Guide to Chinese Wisdom
Proverbs, Marriage, and Other Things I Don't Understand
by Sasha Finch

Sasha Finch is a well-meaning Western husband armed with curiosity, bad Mandarin, and the belief that he can understand Chinese proverbs if he squints hard enough. His wife, Ly, disagrees, politely, at first.
What follows is a crash course in culture, marriage, and culinary survival: Flipping the family fish (bad)Sweeping away New Year luck (worse)Making quinoa fried rice (unforgivable)Using proverbs on his wife (pray for him)Along the way, Sasha discovers that wisdom is less about knowledge and more about humility. And that sometimes the greatest teacher is the person across the table, raising an eyebrow while you burn dinner.
Heartfelt, sharp, and genuinely laugh-out-loud, this is a memoir for anyone who's ever loved across cultures, tried to learn from their mistakes, or tried (and failed) to hold chopsticks like a normal person.
