Above the Water by Jody Ferguson PDF Summary

Book Description: Harry Dietrichson is an American correspondent reporting from Asia. He is sent to Shanghai on the eve of the Second World War. In Cosmopolitan Shanghai - the Paris of the East - British, French, and other Western expatriates continue leading opulent lives seemingly oblivious to the world crumbling around them. Harry meets and falls in love with a young woman named Viktoria who comes from a prominent Russian family that has lived in Shanghai for decades. Before they can be married, Harry is called back to the States. When the war breaks out Harry is unable to return to Shanghai. We witness Viktoria's self-sacrificing efforts to save her family from starvation and persecution. She confronts moral ambiguity on a daily basis. Meanwhile, Harry takes a commission in the Marines and endures a bloody slog of battles across the Pacific, as he attempts to survive and make his way back to Shanghai. As the war ends, Harry returns to war-torn China in search of Viktoria. This book traces the paths of two young lovers whose life together has been interrupted by war. It's a story of love, family, and perseverance.
