From the First Opium War to the rise of modern China, Edward Rutherfurd delivers another epic masterpiece.
In China: The Novel, the acclaimed author of Paris and New York traces over 180 years of sweeping history through the intertwined lives of Chinese, British, and American families. As dynasties fall, revolutions ignite, and empires collide, love, ambition, and survival span continents and generations.
From the grandeur of Shanghai to the upheaval of the Cultural Revolution, Rutherfurd paints a vivid portrait of one of the world’s most complex civilizations—its ancient traditions, its violent ruptures, and its staggering transformation.
Deeply researched and rich with drama, China is a gripping journey through war, rebellion, empire, and rebirth.
History unfolds across centuries. Some legacies are written in blood—and some in glory.
