"A rare and exquisite story...Transports you out of time,
out of place, into a world you can feel on your very skin."
-Elizabeth Gilbert In the sweeping tradition of The English Patient, Janice
Y.K. Lee's debut novel is a tale of love and betrayal set in
war-torn Hong Kong. In 1942, Englishman Will Truesdale falls
headlong into a passionate relationship with Trudy Liang, a
beautiful Eurasian socialite. But their affair is soon
threatened by the invasion of the Japanese as World War II
overwhelms their part of the world. Ten years later, Claire
Pendleton comes to Hong Kong to work as a piano teacher and
also begins a fateful affair. As the threads of this
spellbinding novel intertwine, impossible choices
emerge-between love and safety, courage and survival, the
present, and above all, the past.
