“Leslie Li has stitched together a beautifully layered family saga set in Shanghai between the turbulence of World War II and the Cultural Revolution. Her story has something for everyone, from aficionados of Old Shanghai to mystery and thriller fans to devotees of historical fiction. With cameos from real figures like Jewish Baghdadi real estate tycoon Silas Hardoon and celebrated Shanghai historian Deke Ehr, Li’s characters will pull at your heartstrings until the very last page.”
—Susan Blumberg-Kason, author of Bernardine’s Shanghai Salon: The Story of the Doyenne of Old China
