Anmeldelser
«Guo uses her minimalist messed-up prose not just to tell an affecting coming-of-age story but to ask deep questions about the real differences between Chinese and British culture and language»
Independent on Sunday
«Funny and charming...more than a love story; its psychology is politically acute, and things noted lightly in it linger in the mind»
Guardian
«It is impossible not to be charmed by her matter-of-factness. As the story grows in complexity with Z's growing vocabulary - the narration acquires fluency and tenses almost imperceptibly - it is equally hard not to be impressed by Guo's vivacious talent»
Sunday Times
«Written in deliberately bad English, this is a wonderful comic romance»
Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
«An utterly captivating, and disorientating, journey both through language and through love»
