 MISSY'S CHINA— LETTERS FROM HANGCHOW, 1934-1937 by Doris (“Missy”) Arnold. Missy was a “small town American girl” who came with her family to live in China during a troubled era. In a memorable three years Missy gained great insight into life in a small expat enclave surrounded by the culture and chaos of her host city. She is a keen observer of her little world, and her two weekly letters home are rich in the minute details (and the humor) that enable her family (and the readers) to experience China through her perceptive eyes. |
 PEKING SUN, SHANGHAI MOON – IMAGES FROM A PAST ERAby Diana Hutchins Angulo. This is a rare glimpse into the private lives of wealthy foreigners living in Peking and Shanghai. Through the eyes of a beautiful young girl we are caught up in a frenetic life of wealth and privilege, of social activities and obligations, even as the Japanese begin encroaching. Supplemented by photographs from family albums and contemporary newspapers, her story gives us an entrée into a privileged, glamorous expatriate world now long extinct. |
