Unbound: A Tale of Love and Betrayal in Shanghai is the sweeping,
multigenerational story of two women-a grandmother and
granddaughter-who fight to carve out a place for themselves as
women in Shanghai society. Mini Pao lives with her sister and two
parents in the British-occupied Shanghai of the 1930s, renowned for
its vibrant night life, stunning architecture, and repressive
social mores. Mini's struggle to provide for herself and her family
while grappling with her desire for romance and independence comes
into sharp contrast with the life of her granddaughter, Ting, told
in alternating chapters. Ting also resides in Shanghai, decades
later in the 1980s, when the city has been transformed beyond
recognition by the communist strictures of Chairman Mao. Ting's
strict, sheltered upbringing only fuels her curiosity about her
grandmother's glamorous past, and she is driven to uncover tragic
secrets, grapple with painful truths, and face the hard reality of
what the future holds for her if she remains in Shanghai.
