Description
The Lives Before Us by Juliet Conlin In April 1939, two women are forced to make an impossible choice: flee Europe or face the ghetto, incarceration, and death. Esther and Kitty secure passage to Shanghai, hoping to find safety in this supposed haven. Instead, they discover a city of extremes - wealth, poverty, decadence, and disease - where political instability reigns. As Kitty's dreams of luxury and love are shattered, she is left to survive in the city's dark corners. Meanwhile, Esther finds refuge with a group of widows, but her relationship with Aaron becomes complicated when the Japanese military enters the fray. The two women are thrown together in the city's most desperate times, fighting for survival and a future. This sweeping story of community and friendship in the face of unimaginable threat is a powerful exploration of human resilience.
