Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Now a major motion picture from Oscar-winning director Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain): an intensely passionate story of love and espionage, set in Shanghai during World War II. In the midst of the Japanese occupation of China and Hong Kong, two lives become intertwined: Wong Chia Chi, a young student active in the resistance, and Mr. Yee, a powerful political figure who works for the Japanese occupational government. As these two move deftly between Shanghai’s tea parties and secret interrogations, they become embroiled in the complicated politics of wartime — and in a mutual attraction that may be more than what they expected. Written in lush, lavish prose, and with the tension of a political thriller, Lust, Caution brings 1940s Shanghai artfully to life even as it limns the erotic pulse of a doomed love affair. Review:“Chang has strong and sensuous power of description.... Her stories could hardly be more eloquent.” New York Review of Books Review:“A master of the short story.... Chang’s world is a stark and mysterious place where people strive to find their way in love but often fail under the pressures of family, tradition, and reputation.” The New Yorker Synopsis:Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Oscar) winner Ang Lee, this intensely passionate story of love and espionage brings 1940s Shanghai artfully to life even as it limns the erotic pulse of a doomed love affair.
