From the author of Blind, a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story set during World War II in Shanghai, one of the only places Jews without visas could find refuge.

Warsaw, Poland. The year is 1940 and Lillia is fifteen when her mother, Alenka, disappears and her father flees with Lillia and her younger sister, Naomi, to Shanghai, one of the few places that will welcome them. There they
struggle to make a life; they have no money, there is little work, no decent place to live, a culture that doesn't understand them. And always the worry about Alenka. How will she find them? Is she still alive?
Meanwhile Lillia is growing up, trying to care for Naomi, whose development is frighteningly slow from malnourishment. She attends school sporadically, makes friends with Wei, a Chinese boy, and finds work as a performer at a "gentlemen's club" without her father's knowledge. As the conflict grows more intense, the Americans declare war and the Japanese force the Americans in Shanghai into camps. More bombing, more death. Can Lillia and her family survive, caught in the crossfire?

Beware: NOT the complete treatise.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
The translation is fairly good and then ... you come to note on pg 70 that says basically, "Oh, did we tell you that we skip all of Questions 101 through 104 and large parts of 100 and 105?" Nope. So you do NOT get the entire "Treatise on Law" -- and they hide that fact. (I have seen other translations, but never have I seen one that excludes any of the questions. Now I'm stuck with an incomplete version. Thanks. One last thing: the paper quality is poor. Just about any pen you use for annotations will bleed through. The paper is CHEAP.
