such a fascinating look into the times (30s and 40s Shanghai and HK and some other places too) from someone of Eileen Chang's social standing. I think I should've read her work first before plunging into this collection but I couldn't resist finally starting on it after sitting on this copy I got for myself for months. I don't love all the essays but they keep surprising. she's got so much to write about.
