520 2  "On the eve of WWII, the foreign-controlled port of 
       Shanghai was the rendezvous for the twentieth century's 
       most outlandish adventurers, all under the watchful eye of
       the fabulously wealthy Sir Victor Sassoon. Emily 'Mickey' 
       Hahn was a legendary New Yorker journalist whose vivid 
       writing played a crucial role in opening Western eyes to 
       the realities of life in China. At the height of the 
       Depression, Hahn arrived in Shanghai after a disappointing
       affair with an alcoholic Hollywood screenwriter, convinced
       she will never love again. After checking in to Sassoon's 
       glamorous Cathay Hotel, Hahn is absorbed into the social 
       swirl of the expats drawn to pre-war China, among them 
       Ernest Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, Harold Acton, and a 
       colourful gangster named Morris 'Two-Gun' Cohen. But when 
       she meets Zau Sinmay, a Chinese poet from an illustrious 
       family, she discovers the real Shanghai through his eyes: 
       the city of rich colonials, triple agents, opium-smokers, 
       displaced Chinese peasants, and increasingly desperate 
       White Russian and Jewish refugees--places her innate 
       curiosity will lead her to explore first hand. Danger 
       lurks on the horizon, though, as the brutal Japanese 
       occupation destroys the seductive world of pre-war 
       Shanghai, paving the way for Mao Tse-tung's Communists 
       rise to power"--|cProvided by publisher.
