Kristine Brancolini’s Reviews > Shanghai > Status Update

I’m fascinated by Shanghai and there are many outstanding mysteries set there. I have read other books by Kanon and this book popped up in a NYT list of recommended historical spy novels. So far, it’s more 1939 gangsters than spies but the two worlds may coalesce or collide. I’m interested in the Jewish refugees who came to Shanghai; the book’s protagonist Daniel is one of them.
