I absolutely loved this book. Lydia escaped from Russia with her mother in 1928 to an international community in China. Although Lydia's mother is a beauty and an exceptional pianist as well as an alcoholic, she is an unpapered Russian which means she must servive through her own means. Lydia explores her world and become involved with a young Chinese communist once he saves her from the white slave market. Their infatuation of each other soons turns to love as they cross paths with each other as well as with some very scary characters. The characters are well developed and in the end I was left wanting to know more of their lives. I am looking forward to Furnivall's next novel.
