Description
In 1940s Shanghai, Jiazhi's life is a carefully constructed facade. Behind the elegant façade of high society, she conceals her true identity as a patriotic student radical. Her mission is to seduce a powerful employee of the occupying Japanese government and lead him to his demise. As she waits for their liaison, Jiazhi begins to question whether she has what it takes to be a femme fatale, or if she's starting to feel something more genuine for her target, Mr Yi. This captivating tale of espionage, deception, and love is accompanied by four further dazzling short stories from Eileen Chang. These two collections together offer a gripping insight into the complexities of human relationships during wartime, where loyalty, duty, and desire are constantly at odds.
