En 1921, Julia Pavernen y su amiga china Emily llegan a Shanghái para ser recibidas por la adinerada familia de Emily. La novela explora las tensiones políticas y sociales de la época, con el auge del nacionalismo y el comunismo en China, representados por Chiang Kai-shek y Mao Tse-tung, respectivamente. La historia se desarrolla en un mundo de contrastes, donde la riqueza y la pobreza extrema coexisten, y donde los personajes se ven envueltos en un torbellino de cambios violentos que transformarán el destino de China y del mundo.
