Book Descriptions:
This new paperback edition of Vivian Yang's debut novel "Shanghai Girl" can be seen as both a prequel and a sequel to "Memoirs of a Eurasian" in that it fills and expanded its temporal gaps and brings the reader from Shanghai to New York. In the post-Cultural Revolution Shanghai of 1984, university senior Sha-fei Hong longs to study in America for graduate school, ostensibly to pursue the American Dream, but partly to escape her sexually-harassing Communist cadre stepfather. She meets the visiting Chinese-American businessman Gordon Lou, who has political ambitions and ties to the Chinatown underworld in the U.S. He takes Sha-fei to the American Consulate in Shanghai to look into studying in America. There, Sha-fei meets the intern Edward Cook, a young, Caucasian American lawyer who has a strong preference for all things Asian. Within a year, these three people of entirely different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds cross paths in New York. Value systems and self-interests clash. The curtain falls on a dramatic stage of ambition, sex, intrigue, and murder. The girl from Shanghai survives and thrives. Editorial Reviews "Hard to put down once you've picked it up ...
