Description
The Song of the Jade Lily A Novel by Kirsty Manning is a historical novel that tells the story of Jewish refugees who fled to Shanghai during WWII. In 1939, two young girls form a fierce friendship in the city's glamorous French Concession district, but their bond is soon tested as they navigate the dangers of war. Years later, Alexandra returns to Australia and discovers fragments of her mother's history that lead her to Shanghai, where she uncovers secrets about her grandmother's past. As she delves deeper into her family's mysteries, Alexandra must confront what she learns and question everything she thought she knew about herself and her family. This is a beautiful and provocative story of friendship, motherhood, love, and the power of hardship and courage that can shape us all.
