A House in Old Shanghai. A Family Saga of Love, Power, and a City That No Longer Exists

The glamorous Shanghai of the 1930s and 1940s, luxurious mansions, social receptions, and the privileged life of the Sun family remain for Isabel only a memory. She is forced to leave her hometown and family. Almost sixty years later, she returns to the house where she grew up to piece together the dramatic story of her family — a story of love and betrayal, loss and incredible twists of fate, intertwined with the luxury of old China, family secrets, and the tumultuous events of the 20th century.
