From the critically acclaimed author of The Library of
Legends comes a vividly rendered novel set in WWI France
about two young women—one Chinese, one French—whose lives
intersect with unexpected, potentially dangerous consequences.
“East meets West in World War I France. In The Porcelain
Moon, Janie Chang exhibits her signature trademarks—lyrical
prose, deftly drawn characters, and skillful excavation of
little-known history—to give us a rare jewel in a sea of wartime
fiction!” — Kate Quinn, New York
Times bestselling author France, 1918. In the final days of
the First World War, a young Chinese woman, Pauline Deng, runs away
from her uncle’s home in Paris to evade a marriage being arranged
for her in Shanghai. To prevent the union, she needs the help of
her cousin Theo, who is working as a translator for the Chinese
Labour Corps in the French countryside. In the town of
Noyelles-sur-Mer, Camille Roussel is planning her escape from an
abusive marriage, and to end a love affair that can no longer
continue. When Camille offers Pauline a room for her stay, the two
women become friends. But it’s not long before Pauline uncovers a
perilous secret that Camille has been hiding from her. As their
dangerous situation escalates, the two women are forced to make a
terrible decision that will bind them together for the rest of
their lives. Set against the little-known history of the 140,000
Chinese workers brought to Europe as non-combatant labor during
WWI, The Porcelain Moon is a tale of forbidden love,
identity and belonging, and what we are willing to risk for
freedom.
