A review by nagam
The Piano Teacher by Janice Y.K. Lee

3.0

Certainly an interesting story. I am not a history buff, therefore didn't really know what happened in Hong Kong during world war II. This story was interesting (though sometimes a bit frustrating) because I was also learning while relaxing with this book. I felt a little lost at times as I tried to weave the two stories together. Once it finally all came together at the end of the book, I was pretty disapponted because the book had moved SO slowly and then WHAM it was over. I was most anticipating the end and the author sped through it too quickly. The author is a brilliant writer, but I felt like I had to think a lot through after the last page because things wrapped up so quickly.
