The Piano Teacher

I enjoyed this novel, it is a bit like The English Patient, but lacks the same intensity. The portrayal of wartime and post war Hong Kong is especially well done and since I was not overly familiar with that bit of history, I found it to be quite interesting. I think that the author did a fabulous job of developing Trudy and wish the same attention had been given to Claire, as I found her character to be most interesting and wanted to “get to know her” more. Overall though a pretty good read!
