Night in Shanghai by Nicole Mones

3.0

Fairly recently, I read Three Souls by Janie Change, which touched on this same time period, the 1930s through the early parts of World War II, in China. While I’ve read a lot set in that time period, the Chinese setting was almost entirely new. In addition to Three Souls, I’d read a book, The Far Side of the Sky, a couple of years ago, which is about Jewish refugees in Shanghai. Night in Shanghai takes an entirely new perspective on the war and 1930s China, and is an intensely dark and thought-provoking read.
