"The Garden of Evening Mists" by Tan Twan Eng. *****

》  Audiobook
》  Malaysian author
》  Originally published in 2011
》  Review:  Stunningly lovely!  Set in Malaysia, this is a tale of pain and suffering  and healing and love and relationship and trust.  It is a tale of the horror of what human beings can do to one another juxtaposed with the  compassion which human beings are capable of.  All these themes are remembered and re-experienced by the protagonist as she faces the onset of dementia.  Lovely prose, memorable characters,  and an amazing plot make this a 5 star read!
