- Synopsis
- A novel about an enterprising Shanghai streetwalker from the &“American literary treasure&” and author of the memoir China to Me (The New Yorker). Meet Miss Jill, a young woman pursuing the oldest profession in prewar Shanghai. Fifteen, blonde, and full of personality, Jill begins her career as a Japanese banker&’s mistress. Soon after, she becomes a European prostitute in the house of Annette, and believes that any day now she&’ll be married to a nobleman. But none of her adventures prepare Miss Jill for the war and her subsequent internment. An early feminist and an American journalist who traveled to the Belgian Congo and China in the 1930s, Emily Hahn wrote more than fifty books, both fiction and nonfiction; this is Hahn at her touching and entertaining best, portraying an exotic place in a dramatic time with great authenticity and empathy.
