このコンテンツについて
Janice Y.K. Lee's latest novel, The Expatriates, is now available from Penguin.
In the sweeping tradition of The English Patient, Janice Y.K. Lee's debut novel is a tale of love and betrayal set in war-torn Hong Kong. In 1942, Englishman Will Truesdale falls headlong into a passionate relationship with Trudy Liang, a beautiful Eurasian socialite. But their affair is soon threatened by the invasion of the Japanese as World War II overwhelms their part of the world. Ten years later, Claire Pendleton comes to Hong Kong to work as a piano teacher and also begins a fateful affair. As the threads of this spellbinding novel intertwine, impossible choices emerge-between love and safety, courage and survival, the present, and above all, the past.

"A rare and exquisite story...Transports you out of time, out of place, into a world you can feel on your very skin." (Elizabeth Gilbert - The New York Times best seller)
"Laced with intrigue." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Evocative, poignant, and skillfully crafted, The Piano Teacher is more than an epic tale of war and a tangled, tortured love story. It is the kind of novel one consumes in great, greedy gulps, pausing (grudgingly) only when absolutely necessary.... If we measure the skill of a fiction writer by her ability to create characters and atmosphere so effortlessly real, so alive on the page, that the reader feels a sense of participatory anxiety - as if the act of reading gives one the power to somehow influence the outcome of purely imaginary events - then Lee should be counted among the very best in recent memory." (Chicago Tribune)
