| Meer info | Here’s what The Dancing Girl and the Turtle is all about: A rape. A war. A society where women are bought and sold but no one can speak of shame. Shanghai 1937. Violence throbs at the heart of The Dancing Girl and the Turtle. Synopsis Song Anyi leaves her home for Shanghai and freedom. On the road, Chinese soldiers rape her and leave Anyi for dead. The silence and shame she faces drive Anyi to self-harm and prostitution. From opium dens to high-class brothels, Anyi dances on the edge of destruction as China goes to war with Japan. There is violence in this novel, just as there is violence in the lives of many women. Some of it is self-inflicted; very little is deserved. Anyi is the voice of every woman denied a place at the table and every girl whose shame led her to self-harm. Cha: An Asian Literary Journal: “deeply disturbing”, “grippingly realistic” “engrossing outset for the next volume of the Shanghai Quartet” |
