Memoirs of an Asian Wife
How an Oriental Bride handles her marriage life in Western Society
Based on a true story about an Asian bride in Europe, "Memoirs of an Asian Wife" is an inspirational book for young women, detailing the accounts of a young Asian woman and her decision of marrying a German.
Described as exposed and honest, troubling yet sweet, the book follows Linh Anh and her struggles in Europe whilst dwelling on unfinished plans and ambitions in her homeland.
In addition, the memories and behaviors of Linh Anh's mother - a Vietnamese woman, thoroughly exploited by the author - express the disingenuous happiness in marriage that a vast majority of Asian women try to cover up and endure.
