Synopsis
Aysha, a twenty-two-year-old New Yorker, is beginning to put the pieces of her life back in place after a nervous breakdown. Teaching an adult education class, she meets a young Chinese student named Da Ge - tortured, charismatic and just as unstable as she is - who flips her world upside-down once again. In a love story that spans decades and continents, from the Tiananmen Square massacre to 9/11, New York City's Upper West Side to the terraced mountains of South China, "Repeat After Me" is a perceptive, funny and tragic tale of clashing cultures and troubled histories.

From the Inside Flap
The original Foreign Babe in Beijing returns with her "heartbreaking and
uplifting" (Publishers Weekly) debut novel, Repeat After Me. Aysha is a twenty two-year-old New Yorker recovering from her parents' divorce and a nervous breakdown. Everything changes when the young Chinese dissident, Da Ge, enrolls in her English class hot on the heels of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Improbably and inescapably in love with Da Ge, Aysha ends up pulled in
directions she never expected. Richly textured and full of sharp cross-cultural observations, Repeat After Me plunges the reader into a persuasive tale about love, loss, and language.
