  <default_description>Now a major motion picture from Oscar-winning director Ang Lee (&lt;i&gt;Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain&lt;/i&gt;): an intensely passionate story of love and espionage, set in Shanghai during World War II.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the midst of the Japanese occupation of China and Hong Kong, two lives become intertwined: Wong Chia Chi, a young student active in the resistance, and Mr. Yee, a powerful political figure who works for the Japanese occupational government. As these two move deftly between Shanghai&amp;#8217;s tea parties and secret interrogations, they become embroiled in the complicated politics of wartime &amp;#8212; and in a mutual attraction that may be more than what they expected. Written in lush, lavish prose, and with the tension of a political thriller, &lt;b&gt;Lust, Caution&lt;/b&gt; brings 1940s Shanghai artfully to life even as it limns the erotic pulse of a doomed love affair.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I 'discovered' the book when researching Ang Lee's then upcoming movie of the same title. It's a short story written by an apparently popular Shanghainese writer, Eileen Chang, about a young girl who sacrifices herself for her country by seducing the enemy and then trapping him to be killed by other...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7892128">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked this story, but I am glad I saw the movie first.  The movie expanded on some of the issues and history in the book, issues that I was not familiar with prior.  The story is ambiguous in a lot of ways, but I think it just adds to the aura.  Great one-night read!]]></body>
