The Girl From Shanghai Ghetto
(eBook)
Description
This gripping historical novel is based on true stories. It has been longlisted for the 2022 Guernica Prize for Literary Fiction. The sweeping saga narrates a Jewish girl, Nina, goes through many wars by six mighty rivers in six countries. Nina is born by the Rhine River in Germany. She is only eight when the notorious Kristallnacht occurs on November 9, 1938. Immediately after, Nina escapes from Nazi Germany to London alone by British Kindertransport program, and lives near the Thames River in UK. Nina never knows she will struggle and grow up in the Shanghai ghetto by the Huangpu River in China during WWII. Nina can't imagine she will confront more deadly wars in Israel, US, and Canada. Even though she experiences the romance from her first love to faulty love, to true love all in extraordinary ways, does Nina survive those serious life or death challenges? Nina's fascinating life coincides with some of the major historical events of the twentieth century, from WWII to the attack of 9/11. The Girl From Shanghai Ghetto is like a cinematic epic legend, which looks back at history and shows humanity's glory that transcends hatred and pursues peace.
