This is a beautifully-written account of Shanghai in the 1930s, of a cosmopolitan city caught between political and geopolitical forces, including the Englishman of Iraqi-Jewish background who built the Cathay Hotel and other modern buildings, an American writer originally from St. Louis who wrote for the New Yorker and married a Chinese man (among others), and other interesting historical figures. It is all the more powerful in that it is NOT fiction.
A tour de force of Shanghai during its romantic and intriguing early/mid nineteenth century period when it became a magnet for the worlds elitevand a haven for the displaced from Europe. A frequent visitor to the now Peace Hotel, née Cathay, I can attest to its magnificence. Yet one would be remiss without a visit to Shanghai's iconic synagogue founded by the refugees from nazi persecution.
So much interwoven history & explanation! Absorbing, revealing & a true depiction of the complexity of each of these characters & 'their ' city . The last chapter was a great way to end the book.
Quickly read cover to cover, along with multiple discussions.
I was heading to Shanghai and wanted to read about its history. This book is very informative and interesting even though the narrative is a bit choppy. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the buildings referenced in the book this February.
