A novel about an enterprising Shanghai streetwalker from the "American literary treasure" and author of the memoir China to Me ( The New Yorker ).

Soon after, she becomes a European prostitute in the house of Annette, and believes that any day now she'll be married to a nobleman. But none of her adventures prepare Miss Jill for the war and her subsequent internment.
