Overview

When an American woman and her husband move to China for his job, she finds humor and adventure, while her Shanghai driver, who doesn't speak English, tries to keep her out of trouble. From supermarkets to restaurants, every aspect of her daily life offers a new lesson. In Cutted Chicken in Shanghai, we join Sharon as she interacts with Chinese people and delights in both the similarities and differences she uncovers. As Sharon immerses herself in an unfamiliar culture, her quick wit, humor, and open heart endear her to those she meets, and her Chinese friends become as unforgettable to her as the China she comes to love. Interspersed with snapshots from her past, this book is an opening into the Middle Kingdom where there is something deeply familiar at its core.

"A fun romp through Shanghai ""This book is such a delight!!! The book is written in journal style, and the candor and personal nature of it caused me to fall in love with Sharon as well as Shanghai."" Delightful writing style with humor ""The author has a wicked sense of humor. (She blames it on the Rascal on her shoulder.) I became interested in the book when I read an excerpt in a newsletter. I was still laughing an hour later."" See a new culture through personal experiences ""In diary style, Winters describes her day-to-day life as an American ex-pat living in urban China. ... It's hard to find this level of detail about real life there, so this was a fascinating read."" Compassion and joy in China ""I was captivated by Sharon Winters' compassion and joy in her newfound Chinese friends. It is her gentle and generous nature that really shines throughout this worthwhile book."" Engaging and colorful read! ""There is just the right combination of humor, vulnerability, sentiment, and whaaaaaa to make this lovely, well-written book a really good read! I applaud it loudly and give it 5 stars!"" Sharon Winters effortlessly captures the linguistic and cultural differences between China and America in an affectionate and amusing way. I smiled all the way through. -Robert Wasserman, Author: My Life on Golden Pond"
