Description
A poignant and captivating novel about an enduring love affair set against the backdrop of 1930s Shanghai. Manzhen and Shijun's romance is a testament to the power of love, but also highlights the complexities and challenges that can arise when family and tradition come into play. Their story is one of longing and separation, as they navigate the difficulties of their social differences and the pressures of their families' expectations. When they are reunited after many years apart, will they be able to rekindle their romance or is it doomed from the start? This novel offers a fascinating glimpse into Chinese life in the early 20th century, with its unique blend of cultural traditions and personal struggles.
