The last Rosa Shanghai. Randel V.

1940. Ayi Shao is a young heiress and owner of the once popular and glamorous Shanghai nightclub. Ernest Raizmann is a Jewish refugee without a penny in his pocket, expelled from Germany, an outsider, looking for asylum in a city fearing strangers. He loses almost all hope until he intersects with Aiya. When she hires Ernest to play the piano in her club, her disobedience to customs causes a sensation. His instant glory again made the Ai club the most popular place in Shanghai. Soon they understand that they are united not only by the passion for jazz...

from incendiary jazz clubs to the poor streets of the besieged city, the “last rose of Shanghai” is a timeless, exciting love and atonement.
