The Last Rose of Shanghai by Weina Dai Randel
5.0
I have read so many books about WWII. It is a horrific and fascinating time in history. I’ve read several perspectives by this point (fictional and real accounts). But I’ve never read a Chinese perspective before, if I’m being honest I learned a lot in this book. How much the war effected China, that Shanghai took in so many refugees.
Following Ernest and Aiyi’s stories were beautiful. The strength of their love. The paths of their lives. The struggles.
This novel is beautifully written. A poignant and masterful depiction of a horrible time in history, shown through the eyes of different perspectives.
