from the WB book shelves

Historical Fiction set in Hong Kong during WWII, then 10 years later. Will Truesdale, an Englishman newly arrived in Hong Kong, falls headlong into a passionate relationship with Trudy Liang, a beautiful Eurasian socialite. When the Japanese invade, British will is sent to an internment camp, while Trudy remains "outside". Ten years later, Claire Pendleton comes to Hong Kong and is hired by the wealthy Chen family as their daughter’s piano teacher. A provincial English newlywed, Claire is seduced by the heady social life of the expatriate community. She meets Will and begins a secret affair...that isn't so secret after all in the end. And the social community has quite a few secrets buried in the war and post war years.
