The Far Side of the Sky

a Novel of Love and Death in Shanghai
Oct 24, 2012wendybird rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this plot driven, interesting novel. "Far side" should appeal to a very wide range of readers, with its unique World War II setting (Shanghai), familiar themes (Nazis/antisemitism, love, human growth ) & well drawn characters -- no wonder it was chosen as an OLA (Adult reading) Evergreen Award nominee! I consider myself a bit of a World War II fiction & film junkie, and still, this story -- the flight of Jews & other persona non grata -- to Shanghai.
