Our May choice is The Last Rose of Shanghai by Weina Dai Randel.
In Japanese-occupied Shanghai, two people from different cultures are drawn together by fate and the freedom of music in 1940. Aiyi Shao is a young heiress and the owner of a formerly popular and glamorous Shanghai nightclub. Ernest Reismann is a penniless Jewish refugee driven out of Germany, an outsider searching for shelter in a city wary of strangers. He loses nearly all hope until he crosses paths with Aiyi. When she hires Ernest to play piano at her club, her defiance of custom causes a sensation. His instant fame makes Aiyi’s club once again the hottest spot in Shanghai. Soon they realise they share more than a passion for jazz, but their differences seem insurmountable and Aiyi is engaged to another man.
