"A Tom Doherty Associates book."
Explores the lives of Dr. Franz Adler and his wife Sunny, who're forced in 1943 China to relocate to a one-square-kilometer called Shanghai Ghetto, where heat, hunger, and tropical diseases are constant threats. But the ghetto also breeds miraculous resilience: music, theater, sports, and Jewish culture thrive despite what are at times subhuman conditions.
