Status Updates From Shanghai Love

The conflict in Shanghai Love is character vs. self and character vs. society. It is a love story between a Jewish man and a a Chinese woman. Not only does society disagree completely with this couple. The Chinese woman also is not sure about it. She is married to a man who died and her culture says she is forever belongs to her husband’s family. So technically she is still married.

The protagonist in my book is Henri. He is is a kind, thoughtful, and caring person. He always wants to make others happy. He is also very smart. He is a doctor and knows three languages. He is also a very determined person and can be sensitive at times too. Henri has brown curly hair and is Jewish refugee.

I chose this book because about a month ago, my mom gave me a few books from her bookshelf that she read and liked. She told me that she want me to start reading more often. Then she told me a quick summary of Shanghai Love and it sounded really interesting.

Very interesting story of the intersecting lives of a young Chinese "ghost bride" & a Jewish immigrant to China during WWII. Ancient herbal health remedies are very interesting.
