Shanghailanders is a wonderful, wildly smart and compelling book. If Shanghai is the future, this terrific novel knows it all. We follow a glorious cluster of characters as they trip over their own longings, in this fiction of real astuteness. * Joan Silber, author of Secrets of Happiness * Bracing, thrilling, and breathtakingly smart, Shanghailanders is more than a spectacular debut - it offers a new way of seeing. Not just of Shanghai, but France, Japan, America, and every last corner of its characters' minds. Every page is a new discovery, but the book's best is Juli Min herself. Absolutely extraordinary. * Liam Callanan, author of Paris by the Book * Lyrical and haunting, SHANGHAILANDERS explores the enduring mysteries of family. With its inventive structure-the years spooling in reverse, told through rotating perspectives-Juli Min movingly portrays the Yangs and their many seasons of love and loss in a metropolis that perpetually rises, falls, and emerges from the ashes. An extraordinary debut. * Vanessa Hua, author of Forbidden City * Marvellous * Laura Zigman, author of Small World * Tender, atmospheric, and wholly captivating, Shanghailanders captures la douleur exquise of family through the shifting, shimmering lives of the beguiling Yang sisters and their enigmatic parents.
