Maxima Roshnikov, a famous diva and the rightful owner of a lavish emerald and diamond necklace, had the heirloom stolen right from her neck during a gala celebrating her twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. She considers the necklace a symbol of her husband's love, and she desperately wants it back. But there are so many suspects! The guest list to the party included an odd cast of characters: the Andersons live in a shabby home amid mansions, and they might want to move up; the Alligrettis seem to be rich, but maybe their wealth is just a sham; and the Constantas are elderly Gypsies who perhaps shouldn't have been at the party at all.
And the list goes on and on. Pia's mission to solve the case brings her down unexpected paths and eventually leads her right into the middle of a murder investigation.
From the age of two, she had bound feet. As the family was relatively poor, her father schemed to have her taken as a concubine to high-ranking warlord General Xue Zhi-heng, in order to gain status, which was hugely important in terms of quality of life.
After a wedding ceremony to the General, who already had a wife and many concubines, the young girl was left alone in a wealthy household with servants, and did not see her 'husband' again for six years.
Despite her luxurious surroundings, life was tense as she feared the servants and the wife of the General would report rumors or outright lies to him.
She was allowed to visit her parents' home, but never allowed to spend the night. After his six year absence, the General made a brief conjugal visit to his concubine, during which a daughter, Chang's mother, was conceived.
General did not stay there for long, even to see his daughter but he named his daughter Bao Qin meaning precious zither. During the child's infancy, Chang's grandmother put off persistent requests for her to be brought to the General's main household, until he became very sick and it was no longer a request.
Chang's grandmother had no choice but to comply. During her visit to the household, the General was dying. The general had no male heir, and Chang's mother was very important to the family.
Realizing that the General's wife would have complete control over her life and her child's, when he would die, Chang's grandmother fled with her baby to her parents' home, sending false word to her husband's family that the child had died. With his last words, the General unexpectedly proclaimed her free at age twenty-four. Eventually she married a much older doctor Dr.
Xia with whom she and her daughter, Chang's mother, made a home in Jinzhou, Manchuria. She was no more a concubine, but a true, beloved wife. As the Revolution progressed, her work for the party helped her rise through the ranks. The couple were soon married but Communist Party dictates meant they were not allowed to spend much time together.
Eventually, the couple were transferred to Yibin, Chang's father's hometown. It was a long and arduous trek. Chang's mother traveled on foot because of her rank, while her father rode in a Jeep. He was not aware that Chang's mother was pregnant. After arrival at Nanjing, Chang's mother undertook gruelling military training. After the strain of the training coupled with the journey, she suffered a miscarriage. Chang's father swore to never again be inattentive to his wife's needs.
In the following years Chang's mother gave birth to Jung and four other children. The focus of the book now shifts again to cover Jung's own autobiography. The Cultural Revolution started when Chang was a teenager.
Chang willingly joined the Red Guards though she recoiled from some of their brutal actions. As Mao's personality cult grew, life became more difficult and dangerous. Chang's father became a target for the Red Guards when he mildly but openly criticised Mao due to the suffering caused to the Chinese people by the Cultural Revolution.
Chang's parents were labeled as capitalist roaders and made subjects of public struggle meetings and torture.
