Lovers in the Age of Indifference by Xiaolu Guo

The lovers in the age of indifference are tough romantics from every corner of the planet: a marriage splinters during a game of mah jong;
Witty and original..one of China's most successful literary exports * Guardian *
Funny and melancholy, scintillatingly observed * The Times *
Original, humorous and wise -- Amy Tan
