A new novel by the author of The Last Chinese Chef, Nicole Mones reveals not one but three untold historical stories: the untold saga of American jazz men in Shanghai, the saving of thousands of Jewish lives by Chinese Consul Ho Feng-Shan, and the Chinese government’s attempt to save 100,000 more Jewish lives by establishing a permanent resettlement zone for Jews next to Burma. Drawn from personal accounts, filled with historical personalities, based entirely on true events, Night in Shanghai is a literary page-turner that opens up new vistas in black history and Holocaust history.
