Product Description
From the diaries, Stephen has always been embittered by the conviction that his mother abandoned him and returned to China to satisfy sexual desires. Now, fifty years later, he receives a call from a Chinese exchange student whose great uncle has just emigrated to Hong Kong from the PRC bringing with him Anna's Russian map case, journals, a strange medal, and the incredible story of how they escaped the infamous Japanese rape of Nanking, in 1938.
Beset with revisionist intent on suppressing his mother's story, Stephen jets to China to recover the diaries and discover the real reason why Anna left. In doing so he enters the nineteen-thirties world of his mother: a China beleaguered with warring political factions, ten years of Japanese aggression, espionage, love, betrayal and an environment where émigré women survived by selling themselves in the cabarets.
"This is historical fiction the way it ought to be. The characters are believable, the flying scenes accurate to the finest detail, the tragedy of WWII evoked with honest, clear-eyed realism. Best of all, China Diaries just happens to be a cracking good story," says Robert Gandt, Aviation author of China Clipper and Acts of Vengeance.
