Summary:
Ah-Mei and her French grandmother, Nainai, share a rare bond. Politics and war make 1960s Shanghai a hard place to grow up, especially when racism and bigotry are rife, and everyone seems suspicious of Nainai's European heritage and interracial marriage. In this time of political upheaval, Ah-Mei and her family suffer much and when the family silk business is seized by the government, will the tender connection they share bring them enough strength to carry through?
