In the final days of the First World War, a young Chinese woman, Pauline Deng, runs away from her uncleâs home in Paris to evade a marriage being arranged for her in Shanghai. To prevent the union, she needs the help of her cousin Theo, who is working as a translator for the Chinese Labour Corps in the French countryside. In the town of Noyelles-sur-Mer, Camille Roussel is planning her escape from an abusive marriage, and to end a love affair that can no longer continue. When Camille offers Pauline a room for her stay, the two women become friends. But itâs not long before Pauline uncovers a perilous secret that Camille has been hiding from her. As their dangerous situation escalates, the two women are forced to make a terrible decision that will bind them together for the rest of their lives. Set against the little-known history of the 140,000 Chinese workers brought to Europe as non-combatant labor during WWI, The Porcelain Moon is a tale of forbidden love, identity and belonging, and what we are willing to risk for freedom. 541 $d 20230111. 650 $a World War I, 1914-1918 $z France $v Fiction. 650 $a World War I, 1914-1918 $x Chinese Labour Corps $v Fiction. 650 $a World War I, 1914-1918 $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Love Stories $x Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical Fiction. 941 $a 24 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20240509013459.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043808.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20240106011008.0 952 $l GVPC501 $d 20231222013302.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111013050.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031928.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20231021010947.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032947.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20230902015400.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011634.0 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20230627010547.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20230627010104.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230620010756.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20230526011602.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20230523012625.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230420010053.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230419010058.0 952 $l VBPC034 $d 20230418010743.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230414010103.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230404020013.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20230323010406.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20230310011031.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230302010744.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230302010305.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0047E750AF5A11EDB66B324357ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
