The Song of the Jade Lily
by Kirsty Manning
4/5 stars
⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book is about a family of refugees from Vienna in the late 30's who go to Shanghai to avoid the Nazis. The book jumps back and forth from present-day to wartime, however, it is easy to tell what era you are reading about.
It was very interesting the way the action unfolded, and there was a surprising twist at the end, which I always like.
The book really held my interest and I pretty much literally read it in 1 day, which shows how interested I was.
It was nice the way the stories of different people were told, so you learned about Austrian Jews, Poor immigrants, Americans, Chinese people, and Japanese people.
I would recommend this book highly- it was very enjoyable.
Finished reading in Sept 2020
