Piano ANNOTATION
In the award-winning film The Piano, writer/director Jane Campion created a story so original and powerful it fascinated millions of moviegoers. This novel stands independent of the film, exploring the mysteries of Ada's muteness, the secret of her daughter's conception, the reason for her strange marriage and the past lives of Baines and Stewart.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Piano is the poetic and erotic story of Victorian woman's sexual journey. Through her silence one perceives the strength of her will--a will that is so strange and strong that she is afraid of what it might do.
FROM THE CRITICS
Publishers Weekly
Campion releases the novel form of her Academy Award-winning screenplay about a mute woman forced into an arranged marriage in 19th-century New Zealand. (June)
