Jen S. Lee beautifully and believably allows us to enter the lives of three generations of people who overcame their fears and desires for the sake of others. The End of East tells the story of an immigrant family and travels from China to Canada, and gives us a better understanding of the choices each person had to make - sometimes very limited choices. I found the book hard to put down and I was full of regret when I finished reading it, as I wanted to go back and be with these fascinating people again.
