![]() ![]() But their affair is soon threatened by the invasion of the Japanese as World War II overwhelms their part of the world. In 1942, Englishman Will Truesdale falls headlong into a passionate relationship with Trudy Liang, a beautiful Eurasian socialite. Lee's debut novel is a tale of love and betrayal set in war-torn Hong Kong. In the sweeping tradition of "The English Patient," Janice Y.K. "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 This novel will probably appeal to those interest ed in not only a moving love story but also Hong Kong. It is a much stronger narrative than the part about Claire, the Piano Teacher of the title. The story of Will and Trudy's love during the war years was the part of the novel I enjoyed the most. A powerful love story set in Hong Kong during the second World War, an interesting portrayal of life in Hong Kong during that unsettling period. My Opinion: I enjoyed this probably more so as Hong Kong holds a special place in my heart. ![]()
