The Pianist And Min Jade - 9781946274977

Min Jade has been a misfit all her life. With an IQ off the charts, she is the only Black tenured professor of Physics at the prestigious University of Michigan. Fiercely protected by her "tiger" mom, who very early recognized her daughter's genius came with the duality of mental frailty, Min Jade is programmed to be the best and is a standout in her career.For Min Jade, life hums along for years before the insomnia that warned of doom, the one that had sent her to the "resting ward" as her mother termed it at age thirteen, returned. Min Jade's Dean, who knows his star professor like a book, urges her to take a sabbatical to The University of Innsbruck. In Innsbruck, she meets a cantankerous classical pianist named Min Lee Woo.Min Lee Woo is also a loner, sarcastic and insensitive. He is one of the world's greatest classical pianists and Korea's response to the incomparable Chinese star, Lang Lang. After the death of his mother when he was twelve years old, Min Lee faced the harsh reality of living with a stepmother who hated him. Ousted at age sixteen to The Royal Academy of Music in London, under the guise of continuing his studies, he loves no one, not even the country of his birth. In Innsbruck to give a concert, he meets an unusual girl in a yellow and purple dress who couldn't or wouldn't stop talking. He named her the duck beak girl. With dimples like his mother, the Black girl with a Korean name would, to his chagrin, not leave his mind.
