Publisher's Synopsis
Sold by her uncle in 1907 as a lowly maid to a reputable brothel, the 'First Salon of Gifted Girls', sixteen-year-old Cassia is plucked from the ranks of servant girl by a powerful client. Master Chang is the boss of the fearsome Shanghai Triad. In spite of her large feet and pendulous breasts, both unbound, she swiftly becomes his favourite mistress and enjoys her first passionate encounters as well as her first taste of luxurious living. The story follows Cassia after the violent death of Master Chang, and her rise to 'godmother' of Shanghai as she seduces the next Triad boss, Huang, when he hears her opera troupe, and then his lacky, Yu, who replaces the murdered Huang as the next Triad leader. Already hugely popular, this new B-format edition should enable The Concubine of Shanghai to reach an even wider number of readers.
