Yet one unsolved crime always haunted him: the mysterious disappearance of his parents, in Old Shanghai, when he was a small boy. Now, as the world lurches towards total war, Banks realizes that the time has come for him to return to the city of his childhood and at last solve the mystery - that only by doing so will civilization be saved from the approaching catastrophe." "Moving between London and Shanghai of the inter-war years, When We Were Orphans is a story of memory, intrigue and the need to return: of a childhood vision of the world surviving deep into adulthood, indelibly shaping and distorting a person's life."--BOOK JACKET. 000353893 650_0 $$aPrivate investigators$$zChina$$zShanghai$$vFiction. 000353893 650_0 $$aBritish$$zChina$$vFiction. 000353893 650_0 $$aParents$$xDeath$$vFiction. 000353893 650_0 $$aMissing persons$$vFiction. 000353893 651_0 $$aShanghai (China)$$vFiction. 000353893 655_7 $$aMystery fiction.$$2gsafd 000353893 655_7 $$aPsychological fiction.$$2lcsh 000353893 85200 $$bgen$$hPR6059.S5$$iW48$$i2000 000353893 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:353893$$pGLOBAL_SET 000353893 980__ $$aBIB 000353893 980__ $$aBOOK
