Lust, Caution by Eileen Chang
'Dead, she was his ghost'
A gripping, intensely atmospheric story of love, espionage and betrayal in wartime Shanghai, Lust, Caution is accompanied here by four more shimmering tales of Chinese life.
“A dazzling and distinctive fiction writer” —New York Times Book Review “Chang’s sensual writing has elements of both China and the United States; the smoky, formal world of respect for tradition and the irresistible, harshly lighted future.” —Los Angeles Times“A master of the short story.... Chang’s world is a stark and mysterious place where people strive to find their way in love but often fail under the pressures of family, tradition, and reputation.” —The New Yorker“Chang has strong and sensuous power of description.... Her stories could hardly be more eloquent.” —New York Review of Books
