title: Shanghai Nobody: A novel (Master Shanghai US Version) (Volume 1)
author:  Vann Chow 
description: <div>&quot;Shanghai Nobody is a wonderful book and one I very much enjoyed. It was different from anything I have ever read and it was so engaging. It allowed me to peek into the world of how Chinese men and women live, and I found it not only informative but whimsical, suspenseful and kept me turning pages. The characters are strong and real and the details are incredible. I learned a lot about the Chinese history and the pressures put on men to find a woman to marry. It is very well written and so easy to stay with. The book is from a man&apos;s point of view and I was impressed that it was written by a woman. This is my first encounter with the author Vann Chow, and I cannot wait to read more of her works. Her imagination and ideas have captured my attention, she is very gifted. I cannot wait for the next book of this series. I highly recommend it to everyone. It is a refreshing change of genre and a joy to read.&quot; ---<i>Debbie, reviewer for Pages of Sunshine.</i><br /><i></i><br /><div><i>&quot;</i>This hilarious book (Shanghai Nobody) addresses a major problem in China, the number of women greatly exceeds that of men and men often have trouble finding girlfriends and wives. The author presents her ideas in a satirical and engaging way. It is also very informative about China and what the Chinese young men are going through.<i>&quot;--- Laura, writer.</i></div><div><i></i></div><div><div></div></div><div></div></div>

  "In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city,
  with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. It is like a
  monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time." --- W. Somerset Maugham
