Twenty four bloggers from around the world have come together to kick off the conversation about a fantastic new AMWF memoir, and you’re invited for the ride.
Welcome to the official Good Chinese Wife blog tour, running from July 15 until July 28!
Good Chinese Wife: A Love Affair with China Gone Wrong is Susan Blumberg-Kason‘s forthcoming memoir, set to hit the shelves on July 29, 2014. To drum up excitement ahead of the publication date, we’ve brought together an outstanding group of bloggers who are either posting a book review, an interview with Susan, or a guest post from her on a specific date from July 15 to July 28. Visit the blogs scheduled for each day (see below) to get a variety of fresh perspectives on Good Chinese Wife.
Of course, if you’re already intrigued by the title and subtitle of Susan’s memoir, you’ll want to stay tuned.

Jocelyn, you’ve done such a good job helping to set this up. I’m looking forward to hearing what other early readers think of Susan’s excellent memoir.
Thank you Nicki! 🙂
And I should say, we’re so glad to have you on board with the tour!
Thank you so much, Jocelyn! I’m so honored by this post and everything you’ve done to promote GOOD CHINESE WIFE! Thank you, Nicki, for your lovely words and support, too!
Oh it’s my pleasure! 🙂
Thanks Jocelyn for sharing this, so organized and always talking about other blogs, couples, women and authors!
You’re welcome Laura! 🙂
I’m really excited to read Susan’s book. I’ve never heard of a “blog tour” before–what a great idea! I love many of the blogs on the tour. Can’t wait to read more.
Thanks R Zhao! Yeah, it’s the new way to book tour — and it’s a lot of fun to bring together bloggers in the process! Hope you enjoy the posts!
Next time a Chinese guy especially from Singapore complains about white me taking Singaporean women ask him if he will date and marry a Filipina or Veitnamese, especially if he is educated…I did and they brilliantly got around the question or whether he will take the courage to date and marry a white woman….
You wont have much sympathy for Asian men (particularly Singaporean men) complaining about Asian women dating and marrying white men after you read this piece…

Hi Susan,
If you are reading this comment, I just want you to know that I just bought your book (A Good Chinese Wife: A Love Affair With China Gone Wrong) and I am half way through. I just want to say that your book is great, but I have not yet finished reading it. My eyes are just glued to your book. You had me laughing and cheering for you when you were able to win the love of your life (Cai) and how you both romanced each other culminating into a beautiful marriage. Then I wept for you when he became so controlling and domineering, when he ignored you for days, when he left you to be with his friends and the bad Professor Yoshimoto, when he would not allow you to take a brief visit at the foreign book store, when he called you “dirty” and when he transmitted trichomoniasis to you. Damn it, Susan! How could you allow yourself to be abused like this?
I am certain that I will have more comments after I finish reading it in the next day or two.
Fred
