The Expatriates av Janice Y. K. Lee

Janice Y. K. Lee s New York Times bestselling 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."

Denna bok var en liten överraskning när jag fick den, för jag provade en Book Buddy Box, och det var en välkommen läsning med. Denna bok är inte riktigt som man tänkt sig från början, och den blir bättre och bättre, och slutet får mig helt att smälta. Man får verkligen varma känslor om dessa kvinnor och glädjes och våndas med dem.
