Kirsty Manning makes her North American debut with The Song of the Jade Lily, a gripping historical novel that tells the little-known story of Jewish refugees who fled to Shanghai during WWII . . .

Exquisitely told over dual timelines, The Song of the Jade Lily is a lush, provocative, and beautiful story of friendship, motherhood, the price of love, and the power of hardship and courage to shape us all.

Manning renders Shanghai as a riot of flavors, sights, and sounds, its elegance clashing against gritty poverty in this exquisite window into the past.” -- Booklist
