Down from her Vancouver home is Jen Sookfong Lee with a Vancouver-set debut novel that bridges the 20th century, The End of East (Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's). It has won praise across Canada as it now is released in the U.S. "Beautifully guides us through the heart of the Chan family and the Chinese immigrant experience ... Jen Sookfong Lee's storytelling instincts are honest, unflinching and fearless." - Ami McKay. "An impressive debut novel that delves into the immigration experiences of three generations. Delivered in lyrical language radiating with apt metaphors, the story alternates between Sammy Chan's modern-day life and her family's past ... An enrapturing exploration of identity that proves that family is unshakeable." - Kirkus Reviews.
