Reviews
"Riveting . . . This season's Atonement ." -- Elle "Laced with intrigue." -- The New York Times Book Review , "Editor's Choice" "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 "A shattering, immensely satisfying debut." -- People (4 stars) "War, love, betrayal--an exquisite fugue of a first novel . . . intensely readable." -- O , The Oprah Magazine "Lee unfolds the story with the brisk grace and discretion of the society she describes." -- The New Yorker "Sensual and gripping." -- Good Housekeeping "Janice Lee delivers a standout debut." -- The Boston Globe "The novel is sustained by elegant prose and a terrific sense of place. As Graham Greene evoked Vietnam in The Quiet American , Lee, born and raised in Hong Kong long after the war, captures the city as it was during World War II, its glittering veneer barely masking the panic and corruption beneath." -- The Miami Herald "A compelling portrait of the devastating choices people make in order to survive." -- TimeOut New York "Lee tells two engrossing love stories. . . . Just hide your phone before cracking this one open--or risk calling your ex." -- Marie Claire "Lee delivers a standout debut [with] layers of intrigue and more than a few unexpected twists." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A lush examination of East-West relations." -- Kirkus Reviews "Lee has created the sort of interesting, complex characters, especially in Trudy, that drive a rich and intimate look at what happens to people under extraordinary circumstances." -- Booklist "A rare and exquisite story. It does exactly what a great novel should do--transports you out of time, out of place, into a world you can feel in your very own skin." --Elizabeth Gilbert "One of the most insightful, elegant, and atmospheric novels I've read in a long time. Janice Lee is nothing short of brilliant and her novel is impossible to put down." --Gary Shteyngart "Rarely does one encounter a debut work as beguiling and assured as Janice Lee's The Piano Teacher . Rich with intrigue, romance, and betrayal, this wonderfully written, utterly captivating novel dazzles with its sharp-eyed renderings of beau monde Hong Kong as it is plunged into the crucible of war. With its fascinating interplay of East and West and wide cast of effervescent characters . . . this is a truly transporting--and indeed irresistible--work of fiction." --Chang-Rae Lee "Compelling . . . A persuasive re-creation of a time and place." --Penelope Lively

Synopsis
"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 bestseller 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.
