A Memoir of Socialites, Scholars and Scoundrels

Autor

Isabel Sun Chao was one of the last of her generation to experience the legendary “Old Shanghai” of the 1930s. She left China on a spring holiday in 1950, not realizing that she would never see her father again, nor that three decades would pass before she returned. Making Hong Kong her permanent home, she worked as a cultural affairs specialist in the US Consulate General while raising three children with her husband, Raymond. Isabel passed away in 2023 after a happy retirement spent mostly at the mahjong table.
