Review Quotes: "In her fifth novel, Grandes reaches the peak of her powers. This magnificent saga of shipwrecked lives grips from the first sentence and weaves parallel intrigues of memory and survival, money and revenge. . . . Here, she has perfected her ability to leap between stories and epochs." -Elizabeth Nash, The Independent [London]
"This novel confirms Almudena Grandes as one of Spain's leading writers. She reveals herself a powerfully perceptive writer who understands the subtleties of human nature . . . this is a hugely intelligent, wise novel. . . . It is not until the last pages that the reader is released from suspense and discovers the final effect of the east wind." -Sunday Telegraph
"The Wind from the East will sweep the reader away with its literary force, rhythm, and narrative structure, drawing you in with a distillation of human passions that are almost always in conflict with each other." -The European
