Ying Hong:
The Concubine Of Shanghai

The Concubine Of Shanghai

Sold by her uncle in 1907 as a lowly maid to a reputable brothel, the 'First Salon of Gifted Girls', 16 year old Cassia is plucked from the rank of servant girl by a powerful client. Power Chang is the boss of a fearsome Shanghai Triad. She swiftly becomes his favourite mistress and enjoys her first passionate encounters as well as her first taste of luxurious living. This novel will appeal to anyone interested in China, triad politics and history, and the role of women as sexual slaves to men in the houses of ill repute in Shanghai, as well as the general fiction-buying public. Translated from the Chinese.
