City Rising
The Bend in the River
David Rotenberg
On the Holy Mountain, in 250 BCE, the First Emperor warned his people to watch for the White Ships on Water, and in 1841, they arrive – British Men of War ships carrying opium. This novel tells of two destitute Baghdadi Jews who become opium lords, their battles with the British companies, and their love of the City at the Bend in the River – Shanghai.
