In this anonymous city she hopes to lose herself in books, wine, and solitude, and to dodge whatever pangs of conscience she feels for her fealty to a South African regime that, by the 21st century, has betrayed its early promises. At night, she hears the sound of typing, and then late one evening Zhao arrives at her door. They explore hidden Shanghai and discover a shared love of Langston Hughes--who had his own Chinese and African sojourns. But then Zhao vanishes, and a typewritten manuscript--chunk by chunk--appears at her doorstep instead. The truths unearthed in this manuscript cause her to reckon with her own past, and the long-buried story of what happened to Kay, her fearless, revolutionary friend"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a South Africans $z Shanghai $z Shanghai $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Revolutionaries $z China $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Shanghai (China) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a South Africa $v Fiction. 651 0 $a China $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033333.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220217011001.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72EF69888FBF11ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
