The Red Thread -- Published to glowing reviews on three continents-the London Sunday Times calls it "exquisite," the Australian Bookseller & Publisher "completely enchanting," and Elle in the U.S. "elegant and haunting"-The Red Thread is now available in paperback. Set in contemporary Shanghai, this elegant and seductive love story revolves around Shen, an art appraiser, and Ruth, a young Australian woman, who find their lives strangely mirrored in Six Chapters of a Floating Life, an actual centuries-old Chinese manuscript that is missing the final chapters. A moving and richly layered novel, The Red Thread interweaves love and destiny, art and beauty, and the passion that ties one person to another forever.

Nicholas Jose is the author of The Custodians, The Rose Crossing, and three other novels, and is the translator of two volumes of Chinese poetry. Born in London, he lived for many years in China and now resides in Sydney, Australia.
