Tale of love in a time of war in Hong Kong
本文作者： PAUL BRENNAN, 21ST CENTURY STAFF
AT the start of Janice Y. K. Lee’s bestseller The Piano Teacher (2008), we find ourselves in Hong Kong in 1952. Claire Pendleton, a young, naive, newly-married Englishwoman fresh off the boat, is having trouble adjusting. She knows next to nothing about Hong Kong, other than what her mother has told her – which turns out to be mostly newspaper-derived prejudice about the Chinese. And then there is her new husband. Martin is a generation older than her and a busy, rather boring man who leaves her with a lot of time on her hands.
