Description
The Flutes of Shanghai
Author: Louise Jordan Milne
Hard cover - good condition, some damage to the spine. Rare find. First edition.
The Flutes of Shanghai by Louise Jordan Milne is a richly atmospheric historical novel set in 19th-century China, exploring the lives, ambitions, and entanglements of women in Shanghai’s world of courtesans and cultural refinement. Blending romance, intrigue, and social observation, Milne paints a vivid portrait of a society where tradition, art, and sensuality intersect with commerce and power. Through its depiction of the courtesans’ beauty, wit, and artistry, the book offers readers both an intimate glimpse into a closed world and a broader reflection on the intersections of East and West during a period of great cultural change.
