Author Janice Y K Lee comes to Denver's 16th Street 'Tattered Cover' this coming Monday 25th January at 7:00 pm. For further details, please call: 1 303 436 1070
KGNU's Claudia Cragg speaks here with Janice Y.K. Lee "whose New York Times bestselling debut was The Piano Teacher (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, 'The Expatriates', 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.
