I found myself having to wait for a few hours and no book!! The only place near was an upscale used book store and i'm thinking i'm gonna end up paying $6.00 for a used book! Yup I did but the books were beautiful and this one i'd of paid double for. LIFE AND DEATH IN SHANGHAI was from the very beginning a page turner. In 1966, the year Mao launched the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution Ms. Cheng's house was invaded by a group of Red Guards and she was arrested. Although this happened during a political revolution this book was by far not bogged down with political talk. This is the true account, in her own words, of her capture and imprisonment while being held in solitary confinement for nearly 7 years suffering cold, hunger, disease,terror,and humiliation. I couldn't put this book down. I fell in love with Ms. Cheng. I'd read this again someday as I truely truely enjoyed this beautiful $6.00 used book.
