2005 book 58

rachel dewoskin's foreign babes in beijing
dewoskin moved to china after college to work for a PR firm, and ended up starring in a hugely successful primetime soap opera called "foreign babes in beijing," where she played jiexi, the brunette marriage-destroying vixen. while relating her adventures in china in the mid-90s, dewoskin also offers commentary on the shifting cultural and societal attitudes in china during that time, making for a richer narrative. still, it's dewoskin's own experiences in business, as an actress, and as a 20-something american in china that make this story such a good read.
