THE PIANO TEACHER

The Piano Teacher by Janice Y.K. Lee - I don't know. This book had me engrossed for a couple of days from the beginning, and through the middle, but then as it wound down, and mysteries were revealed (they weren't really), I fell out of love with it. The cover is very pretty. It takes place in Hong Kong, in the days just before and during the Japanese Occupation in 1941 and 42, and then another story line occurs about 10 years later. Very English, very colonial, and a lot of pip pip cherio.
I've decided. It's good enough to read; you'll just have to let me know if I missed the point with the ending.
