Two Tales of the Moon
By Jennifer Sun
Genre: Literary fiction
Two lives converge over a high stake international deal between
U.S. and China - Will Donovan, a successful cyber technology business owner and
Lu Li, a Wall Street investment banker. From New York City to Washington, DC,
to Shanghai, together they have to face ethical dilemmas, make life choices,
and come to terms with their past.
East meets West, past clashes with present. Blending romantic
suspense with ethical intrigue. TWO TALES OF THE MOON is a compelling story
that reveals that human struggle is the same regardless one's past or cultural
upbringing.
Clarion/Forward gave the book a four star rating, calls it
"a thoughtful portrait of a modern woman who
must choose between the burden of memory and a future of her own making...the
writing takes on the sharpened focus of a play... the work effectively captures
the effects of communism in searingly personal ways.
BlueInk Review says:
"Jennifer
Sun draws on personal knowledge of
China and a former career in telecommunications/finance
for her well-crafted debut novel about
the meeting of East and West. Blending
romance and ethical intrigue, Two Tales of the
Moon is a unique novel, with characters of
psychological depth.
Book Review
I was fascinated by the time period in which Lu Li was a young child and witnessed her family going through hard times within their country of China. I could have read an entire book of just their family's story. I think it's important that the author went into detail with Li's past because it made you understand her so much more. This was a great book - 4.5 stars!
