"Like Tracy Chevalier's Girl With a Pearl Earring, Jennifer Epstein's The Painter from Shanghai is a fascinating and sympathetic portrait of a woman constrained by the circumstances of time and place. Yuliang's story is by turns harrowing, passionate, and inspiring. A moving story, and a real page-turner too." - Binnie Kirshenbaum, author. "In The Painter from Shanghai, Jennifer Epstein has given us a luminous, compelling debut novel. Yuliang's story is as captivating as it is chilling, vividly told, hard to put down." - Helen Schulman, author. "The Painter from Shanghai is an exquisitely rendered tale about the artist's struggle for self-realization. One could not have a more humble background - orphan, prostitute - than our young heroine, yet it seems that adversity fuels her art. Jennifer Cody Epstein relishes Yuliang's struggle and does not stint on descriptive detail or psychological insight. This is a magnificent book, and fascinating read." - Frances Sherwood, author. "What astonishes most about The Painter from Shanghai is not just its epic scale, its exhaustive research, or its wildly ambitious subject matter, but the fact that Jennifer Cody Epstein has woven these elements together with such lush and inventive writing. This is a phenomenal debut." - Joanna Hershon, author. "Jennifer Epstein has created a world of extraordinary imagination out of a world of extraordinary historical fact, and in the process has demonstrated, with verve, that art can redeem misery." - David Plante, author. "Plush and vibrant, Jennifer Cody Epstein's The Painter from Shanghai combines the sweep of an epic with the persuasive, textured detail of daily life. It is a portrait of the artist who succeeds because she insits on it, a captivating glimpse into history, and - when you least expect it - a gently layered, bittersweet love story." - Michelle Wildgen, author. "Pan Yuliang - one-time prostitute, post-impressionist, and adopted parisian - lived at the intersection of great art and tumultuous modern history. In [the book, the author] reimagines the life of this bold and improbable woman. Down the muddy waters of the Yangtze River and into the seedy backrooms of "The Hall of Eternal Splendor," through the raucous glamour of prewar Shanghai and the bohemian splendor of 1920s Paris, and back to a China ripped apart by civil war and tettering on the brink of revolution, this novel tells the story of Pan Yuliang, one of the most talented - and provocative - Chinese artists of the twentieth century. Jennifer Cody Epstein conjures the world of the woman behind the Cezannesque nude self-portraits, imagining with lavish detail her life in the brothel and then as a concubine to the Republican official who would ultimately help her find her way as an artist. Moving with the tide of historical events, [the book] celebrates a singular daring painting style - one that led to fame, notoriety, and, ultimately, a devastating choice: between Pan's art and the one great love of her life." - from the inner front jacket flap.
