Leanna Adams moved to China in 2006. What she found were squat pots, plates of pig's feet, wildly curious Chinese people and life-altering experiences. Pretty Woman Spitting is a kind of love letter to China. Adams chose the title after hearing a particularly guttural noise (spitting is commonly heard all over China) and turned to find a beautiful woman in a delicate yellow frock hocking up a big one. Pretty Woman Spitting is the book Adams wanted to read before she moved there, filled with loads useful information like where to go to the bathroom and how you shouldn't hug Chinese men after they fix your toilet.While living in the countryside teaching English and American Culture, even the most basic issues of hygiene presented complicated dilemmas for Adams. The reaction of the rural Chinese - who had seldom if ever seen a Westerner - to a curly-haired American woman ranged from pointed curiosity to outright inappropriate touching. The book is part memoir, part travelogue and a compelling and often hilarious account of an evolving Chinese society and a woman at a crossroads. Adams was nearly robbed, held her co-worker's hand as she died in a filthy, smoke-filled hospital, bonded with many of her three hundred students and left part of her heart in Wuhu, China. Adams's contrasting experiences highlight the differences that make the two cultures unique and the similarities that make all people human.
