5.0 out of 5 stars
Sentimental, Thoughtful, & Very Emotional,
By Anne Jensen "Book Lover" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The End of East: A Novel (Hardcover)
The 256 pages of this novel provide such depths and insight into each character, the lives and toils of a family, and the conflicts that we all face, more or less, at some point within our lives. It's rare for a novel to provoke such contemplation and emotions within the reader, but The End of East manages to do so effortlessly and throughout its entirety. Get the tissues ready, and be prepared to look at your own existence -- I know I did.

Bittersweet- but slightly more sweet than bitter.,
By Megret (Norfolk, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The End of East: A Novel (Hardcover)
I was unsure of this novel at first, but I enjoyed it more and more as I continued to read. By the end, I found that I was satisfied, and that I had enjoyed the time I spent reading.
The relationships between the characters are bittersweet, shaded with self-sacrifice, family responsibility, cultural divides, misunderstandings, prejudice and ultimately, love. As is life. It was a quick read- it would be a good book to take along on a trip. |
