The Painter from Shanghai: A Novel

The Painter from Shanghai is a captivating novel that brings to life the story of Pan Yuliang, a talented Chinese artist who transformed from a prostitute to a post-Impressionist painter.

The book takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the muddy waters of the Yangtze River, the seedy backrooms of "The Hall of Eternal Splendor," and the glamour of prewar Shanghai and 1920s Paris.

With lavish detail, the novel captures Pan's life in a brothel and her subsequent transformation as a concubine to a Republican official who helped her find her way as an artist.
