reviewed on + 531 more book reviews


The Piano Teacher's title may be misleading at times. however, the piano teacher is a part of the book. Much history of Japan's occupation and involvement in World War is revealed through the characters. The book's plot covers a 10-yr period of time; the 1940's and the 1950's. The story line can be quite involved at time; the reader can either appreciate, or perhaps not understand . The reader will find impossible choices unfolding, love and safety, courage and survival entertwining the present as well as the past
