Shanghai
3 primary works
Book 1
Book 2
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.
Book 3
Gripping and poignant, this is the epic final chapter in Daniel Kalla's wartime trilogy, bringing to an unforgettable conclusion the story begun in "The Far Side of the Sky" and "Rising Sun, Falling Shadow." In 1945, American B-52s begin bombing Shanghai in strategic raids, putting thousands of Chinese citizens and refugees in grave danger. While the war seems to be winding down in the Far East, many questions remain unanswered for the Adlers.
