Description: Set in postwar Hong Kong, The Piano Teacher is a richly atmospheric novel of love, betrayal, and survival in the aftermath of World War II. Moving between the Japanese occupation and the 1950s, Janice Y. K. Lee weaves an elegant, emotionally charged story centered on Trudy Liang, a Eurasian piano teacher caught between cultures, loyalties, and secrets. Lyrical yet propulsive, the novel explores how the past shapes intimacy and identity long after the war has ended.
Collector’s Notes / Why We Love This Book: A beautifully produced Viking hardcover of an acclaimed literary debut, praised by Chang-Rae Lee, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Publishers Weekly (starred). While not a scarce first printing, this is a fine, highly collectible reading copy of a novel that remains admired for its prose, setting, and emotional depth.
