Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Anna Schoene's parents, Joseph and Genevieve, are rich American expats in between-the-wars Shanghai. The child of missionaries, Joseph Schoene has made his fortune living on his wits; he is a man in love with China. For the young Anna, Shanghai is a magical world. But when the Japanese invade and when war comes, Joseph sends his wife and daughter back to America, promising that they will soon be reunited. Despite imprisonment by the Japanese and the loss of much of his fortune, for decades Joseph cannot bring himself to follow them. Anna grows up halfway across the world from her father, and it is only over the years that she gradually learns his real story. . .
