Title: Painting with words
Review: If you appreciate viciously eloquent prose, this novel is for you. The writing is both clever and creative. The story didn't quite match up the quality of the writing, but it was disturbing and tragic enough to be memorable.The piano teacher is set in Vienna during the 1980's. It is a story about a failed concert pianist who has a parasitic relationship with her mother. The combination of sexual repression and learned submissiveness cause her to go overboard and enter a destructive relationship with one of her students.Another sad and moving story about the misery that ensues when one human being tries to control another. Brilliantly mouth watering prose, deserves at least 4.5 stars.
