'This is a fascinating, full-blooded yarn which has the reader rooting for its heroine, a kind of Chinese Moll Flanders, every inch of the way.' --Independent on Sunday
Sensual, dark at times, beautiful at others, and with a powerful female lead, the book doesn t disappoint. --Curled Up with a Good Book
A brilliant and sensitive writer --Jung Chang
Reseña del editor
Sold by her uncle in 1907 as a lowly maid to a reputable brothel, the First Salon of Gifted Girls , sixteen-year-old Cassia is plucked from the ranks of servant girl by a powerful client. Master Chang is the boss of the fearsome Shanghai Triad. In spite of her large feet and pendulous breasts, both unbound, she swiftly becomes his favourite mistress and enjoys her first passionate encounters as well as her first taste of luxurious living. The story follows Cassia after the violent death of Master Chang, and her rise to godmother of Shanghai as she seduces the next Triad boss, Huang, when he hears her opera troupe, and then his lacky, Yu, who replaces the murdered Huang as the next Triad leader.
