| Summary | "The Pagan Madonna" by Harold MacGrath is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces two key characters: Ling Foo, a Chinese merchant in Shanghai, and Jane Norman, a Red Cross nurse who arrives in Shanghai as a traveler. The narrative combines elements of intrigue and drama, touching upon themes of chance, longing, and adventure. At the start of the story, we see Ling Foo's daily life as he navigates through the vibrant yet tumultuous society of Shanghai. A dramatic encounter occurs when a bloodied white man stumbles into his shop, leading to a series of events marked by mystery. Meanwhile, Jane Norman arrives in Shanghai eager for adventure yet simultaneously trapped in a cycle of mundane expectations. She yearns for freedom and exhilaration beyond the constraints of her past, setting the stage for encounters that will intertwine their fates. The opening chapters establish a tension-filled atmosphere while hinting at larger conflicts and adventures to come, particularly concerning a set of glass beads that may hold unexpected significance.
