Janice Y. K. Lee’s blockbuster hit debut, The Piano
Teacher, was called “immensely satisfying” by People,
“intensely readable” by O, The Oprah Magazine, and “a
rare and exquisite story” by Elizabeth Gilbert. Now, in
her long-awaited new novel, Lee explores with devastating
poignancy the emotions, identities, and relationships of
three very different American women living in the same
small expat community in Hong Kong. Mercy, a young Korean American and recent Columbia
graduate, is adrift, undone by a terrible incident in her
recent past. Hilary, a wealthy housewife, is haunted by
her struggle to have a child, something she believes
could save her foundering marriage. Meanwhile, Margaret,
once a happily married mother of three, questions her
maternal identity in the wake of a shattering loss. As
each woman struggles with her own demons, their lives
collide in ways that have irreversible consequences for
them all. Atmospheric, moving, and utterly compelling,
The Expatriates confirms Lee as an exceptional talent and
one of our keenest observers of women’s inner lives.
