About this product
Product Information
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.

"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 of The Diamond Eye "There are many historical novels that begin in China in 1937 when the Japanese invade, but Janie Chang has found a new and fascinating story to tell about the university students and faculty who trekked hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles to escape the Japanese while preserving not just China's best minds, but also China's most precious books. I was entranced by the magical spirits, immortals, and fox spirits who accompany them. Janie Chang has beautifully melded history and the spirit world to create an adventurous love story for all of us readers who love books and who, in a perfect world, would do anything to save them." -- Lisa See, New York Times bestselling author of The Island of Sea Women, on The Library of Legends "Janie Chang's The Library of Legends is a delicious mix of history, myth, and romance. Chang deftly intertwines Chinese folklore and historical detail to create a magical, heartfelt read." -- Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Translation and Searching for Sylvie Lee "The Library of Legends is a gorgeous, poetic journey threaded with mist and magic about a group from a Chinese university who take to the road to escape the Japanese invasion of 1937--only to discover that danger stalks them from within. Janie Chang pens pure enchantment!" -- Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of Diamond Eye "Chang expertly weaves mysticism and historical details, and sets up a cast of memorable characters. This will charm readers from the very first page." -- Publishers Weekly on The Library of Legends "The Library of Legends is a luminous and enthralling story set during a pivotal period in the making of modern China, and highlights the Chinese determination to preserve their culture by saving precious historical treasures at great sacrifice. The exploits of historical characters and ancient mythological beings are interwoven in a blend of wonder, courage, and suspense." -- Margaret George, New York Times bestselling author of The Splendor Before the Dark and Elizabeth I, "The Library of Legends is a gorgeous, poetic journey threaded with mist and magic about a group from a Chinese university who take to the road to escape the Japanese invasion of 1937--only to discover that danger stalks them from within.

Set in Paris during WWI, the novel deftly excavates a piece of forgotten history during which hundreds of Chinese men left home and toiled as mechanics, trench diggers, and railway repairers to support their European allies, who regarded them as strangers. Chang's masterfully crafted novel challenges our views of the traditional images of the Chinese, our beliefs about identity, and ultimately, the western opinions that have defined the WWI narrative. Profound and precious, The Porcelain Moon is a novel for anyone who believes they know about history." -- Weina Dai Randel, author of The Last Rose of Shanghai and the forthcoming Night of Angels, "East meets West in World War I France.

Chang creates a fascinating, immersive story of worlds intertwining, a story of friendship, love, found family, and finding one's own place in a rapidly changing world." -- Lauren Willig, New York Times bestselling Author of Band of Sisters and the forthcoming Two Wars and a Wedding "There are many historical novels that begin in China in 1937 when the Japanese invade, but Janie Chang has found a new and fascinating story to tell about the university students and faculty who trekked hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles to escape the Japanese while preserving not just China's best minds, but also China's most precious books.
