Old orders change and new regimes are born. But even in the austere China of Chairman Mao the current elite continue to cherish good food and elegang service. In Shanghai, Madame Liang's fashionable restaurant still provides classic cuisine for the new bureaucrat, and the official eye is partially closed to her American affiliations. But only partially. Madame Liang is well aware that, with three daughters being educagted in America whe will always be regarded with suspicion. Against this tense background is woven a turbulent, deeply moving drama of divided loyalties and emotional conflict.
"Madame Liang is the owner of the most exclusive and fashionable restaurant in Shanghai. In spite of Communist scrutiny she manages to provide gourmet foods and elegant service to her customers. At the same time, Madame Liang's three daughters--Grace, Mercy, and Joy--were sent to America to be educated. Soon the elder two daughters are called back to serve the People's Republic. Watching her two daughters grow apart and knowing that her youngest daughter will never return, Madame Liang must also face the challenges of the Cultural Revolution, and how to keep herself and the restaurant, alive."
