The Painter from Shanghai
A Novel
Jennifer Cody Epstein (Author)
“A historical novel on a grand scale . . . a dark love story, a triumphant tale of survival.” —Maureen Howard
Down the muddy waters of the Yangtze River, through the raucous glamour of prewar Shanghai and the bohemian splendor of 1920s Paris, and back to a China teetering on the brink of revolution: this is the epic story of Pan Yuliang, one of the most talented—and provocative—Chinese artists of the twentieth century.
