傳奇

The collection that made Eileen Chang's name, with The Golden Cangue and Love in a Fallen City, stories of Shanghai and Hong Kong in the war years. She writes about marriage as a matter of money and survival, with a painter's eye for clothes, rooms and light. Her images are startling and her coldness is a kind of honesty.
