Outstanding Memoir winner and Book of the Year, second place, awarded by the Independent Author Network A high position bestowed by China\'s empress dowager grants power and wealth to the Sun family.
By turns harrowing and heartwarming, this vivid Memoir explores identity, loss and the unpredictable nature of life against the epic backdrop of a nation and a people in turmoil..
Lavishly illustrated and meticulously researched, Remembering Shanghai follows five generations from a hardscrabble village to vibrant Shanghai to the bright lights of Hong Kong.
Isabel returns to Shanghai fifty years later with her daughter, Claire, to confront their family\'s past--one they discover is filled with love and betrayal, kidnappers and concubines, glittering pleasure palaces and underworld crime bosses.
Meanwhile, the family she has left behind struggles to survive, only to have their world shattered by the Cultural Revolution.
When Mao comes to power, eighteen-year-old Isabel journeys to Hong Kong, not realizing that she will make it her home--and that she will never see her father again.
But while her scholar father and fashionable mother shelter her from civil war and Japanese occupation, they cannot shield the family forever.
For Isabel, growing up in glamorous 1930s and \'40s Shanghai, it is a life of utmost privilege.
