On the eve of the Second World War, the foreign-controlled port of Shanghai was the rendezvous for the twentieth century`s most outlandish adventurers, all under the watchful eye of the illustrious Sir Victor Sassoon. Emily ` Mickey` Hahn arrived there at the height of the Depression. A legendary New Yorker journalist, Hahn`s vivid writing would play a crucial role in opening Western eyes to the realities of life in China. But on reaching Shanghai, Hahn was nursing a broken heart after a disappointing affair with an alcoholic Hollywood screenwriter; she was convinced she would never love again. Checking in to Sassoon`s glittering Cathay Hotel, Hahn was absorbed into the social swirl of the expats drawn to pre-war China, among them Ernest Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, Harold Acton & the colourful gangster Morris ` Two-Gun` Cohen. But when she met Zau Sinmay, a Chinese poet from an illustrious family, she discovered the real Shanghai through his eyes: the city of rich colonials, triple agents, opium-smokers, displaced Chinese peasants, & increasingly desperate White Russian & Jewish refugees
