"When I went to Brazil in 1890, I was always comparing and contrasting that country and her people with my country and my people; and to me, mine were always superior...the attitude of superiority I had taken made it impossible to accumulate anything [of value]. When Sarah Pike Conger and her husband, Ambassador Edwin H. Conger (Civil War Major), left Brazil to take a new post in China, she could not have been more excited. But within months of their arrival, the violent Boxer Rebellion broke out. In letters to family and friends, Sarah Conger details her fascination with China and the Chinese and the desperate anxiety of the 45-day siege of the foreign legations during her husband's tenure. Though death and destruction were part of their early experience in China, the Congers came to love the country. They visited royalty and Mrs. Conger seemed especially impressed with the Dowager Empress, of whom she writes a great deal in this book and with whom she became friends. They also visited Japan during their trips to and from China and she records the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War. Long out of print, this fascinating book is available for the first time as an affordable, well-formatted edition for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

These letters provide a fascinating insider's account of everyday life in China at a time when, although the country is rapidly undergoing change, it is still possible to catch some of the old China. The author has something to say on every aspect of life: the cold winters and hot stifling summers; Chinese social customs, both traditional and modern; working and living conditions; love and marriage. Nothing escapes her attention. She is at her most informative when describing her personal experience both in coping with domestic problems, and with the issues of her professional life in the field of education administration and teaching. For instance, at a college where she works, the author encounters a culture of gossip and confusion rather than straight communication. However, the most important thing is that, in the process, she acquires not only new friends, but a new world view. With the aid of these perceptive and well balanced observations, the reader easily forms an impression of contemporary China and what it means to live there as a Westerner. a valuable source of information for all those interested in the country.
