From the author of the New York Times best retailer The Piano Teacher, a lovely, transporting novel about motherhood, marriage, and camaraderie. Janice Y. K. Lee's blockbuster struck debut, The Piano Teacher, was called "immensely satisfying" by People, "intensely readable" by O, The Oprah Magazine, and "a exceptional and exquisite report" by Elizabeth Gilbert. Now, in her long-awaited new novel, Lee explores with devastating poignancy the thoughts, identities, and human relationships of three completely different American women residing in the same small expat community in Hong Kong. Mercy, a young Korean North american and recent Columbia graduate, is adrift, undone by an awful incident in her recent past. Hilary, a wealthy housewife, is haunted by her struggle to have a kid - something she is convinced could save her foundering marriage. On the other hand Margaret, once a happily married mother of three, questions her maternal identification in the wake of a shattering loss. As each girl struggles with her own demons, their lives collide in ways that have irreversible results for all of them. Atmospheric, moving, and utterly powerful, The Expatriates confirms Lee as an exceptional talent and one of the keenest observers of women's interior lives.
