I enjoyed The Piano Teacher by Janice Y.K. Lee which was set in Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation and 10 years later. A British couple arrive in Hong Kong in 1953 and the wife, Claire, becomes a piano teacher for the child of a wealthy local couple. She meets the family's chauffeur, Will, and falls in love with him. Gradually she learns about his past during the War. The reader learns more about Will and his relationship with a beautiful Eurasian woman, Trudy during the War. The life for the British under occupation was of course not easy and in 1953 there are secrets from the War time that are brought to light. 31/2/5Friday, August 28, 2009
