The Piano: A Novel by Jane Campion, Kate Pullinger

1.0

Unfortunately I didn't like Campion's The Piano at all. The writing is average, the premise doesn't make any sense, the ending is embarrassingly bad. None of the characters have any personality, they are all just cliches. The depiction of Maori people and culture was particularly bad, relying on racist stereotypes instead of adding any depth to the story.
