Weina stops by to talk about her bestselling novel The Last Rose of Shanghai. I've read a lot of World War II fiction and this is a look at that war from a whole new angle from the setting of Shanghai. A love story at it's core between a Chinese woman who defies society and family constraints to run a night club and a Jewish refugee who is caring for his sister and plays jazz piano in night clubs. It's also a novel about survival and what these characters will do to make it to safety. It's totally epic in scope - lots of heartache This is a must-read for people who love World War II fiction and readers who love historical novels set in different locations.
