The Painter of Shanghai
0 - Default Title
Description
And yet the girl survives and one day hope appears in the unlikely form of a customs inspector a modest man resistant to the charms of the corrupt world that surrounds him but not to the innocent girl who stands before him. From the crowded rooms of a small-town brothel heavy with the smoke of opium pipes and the breath of drunken merchants to the Bohemian hedonism of Paris and the 1930s studios of Shanghai Jennifer Epstein's first novel based on a true story is an exquisite evocation of a fascinating time and place with a breathtaking heroine at its heart.
