About this audiobook
A MAJOR AMAZON PRIME TV SERIES RELEASING 24TH JANUARY 2024, STARRING NICOLE KIDMAN, SARAYU BLUE AND JI-YOUNG YOO.
I raced through this enthralling story' Liane Moriarty
'Brilliantly plotted and written, utterly absorbing' Daily Mail
'An emotionally gripping page-turner' Elle
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Piano Teacher, a searing novel of marriage, motherhood and the search for connection far from home.
Expats come to the glittering city of Hong Kong for myriad reasons - to find or lose themselves in a foreign place, and to forget or remake themselves far from home. Three women's lives to collide in ways that rewrite every assumption of their privileged world:
Mercy, a young Korean American and recent Columbia graduate, once again finds herself compromised and adrift, trying to start her life anew.
Hilary, a wealthy housewife, is haunted by her struggle to have a child, hoping to save her uncertain marriage.
Margaret, once the enviable mother of three, tries to negotiate an existence that has become utterly unrecognizable after a catastrophic event.
Faced with unthinkable choices, these three women form a profound connection that defies the norms of the sequestered community - finding in each other a strength borne of need, forgiveness, and ultimately hope.
Atmospheric and utterly compelling, The Expatriates showcases Lee's exceptional talent as one of our keenest observers of women's inner lives.
