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."
My Review
Two Tales of the Moon is such an emotional book! I was sucked into Lu Li's past where her father was taken away and forced to live in a Chinese labor camp. She faces so much heartache when her father is killed almost nine years later trying to escape. While this book is set in the present time, I think the flashbacks to the past and the historical pieces in the plot are what truly make this story so special. I also like how the author was able to create a romance within the story that was tastefully portrayed and realistic as well. The history of Lu Li's family is complex and her friendship with siblings, Sage and Will, add an intriguing dynamic to the plot. Two Tales of the Moon is a beautifully written novel about love, family, loyalty, and honesty.
