A high position bestowed by China's empress dowager grants power & wealth to the Sun family. For Isabel, growing up in glamorous 1930s & '40s Shanghai, it is a life of utmost privilege. But while her scholar father & fashionable mother shelter her from civil war & Japanese occupation, they cannot shield the family forever.
When Mao comes to power, 18-year-old Isabel journeys to Hong Kong, not realizing that she will make it her home--& that she will never see her father again. Meanwhile, the family she has left behind struggles to survive, only to have their world shattered by the Cultural Revolution. Isabel returns to Shanghai 50 years later with her daughter, Claire, to confront their family's past--one they discover is filled with love & betrayal, kidnappers & concubines, glittering pleasure palaces & underworld crime bosses.
Lavishly illustrated & meticulously researched, Remembering Shanghai follows five generations from a hardscrabble village to vibrant Shanghai to the bright lights of Hong Kong. By turns harrowing & heartwarming, this vivid memoir explores identity, loss & the unpredictable nature of life against the epic backdrop of a nation & a people in turmoil.
Claire Chao was named to Avenue magazine’s “500 Most Influential Asian Americans..." - RememberingShanghai.com.
