Recenzii
The
Independent
“The Garden of Evening Mistsoffers action-packed, end-of-empire storytelling in the vein of Tan’s compatriot Tash Aw. His fictional garden cultivates formal harmony –but also undermines it. It unmasks sophisticated artistry as a partner of pain and lies. This duality invests the novel with a climate of doubt; a mood – as with Aritomo’s creation – of “tension and possibility”. Its beauty never comes to rest.”

“A rising star from Malaysia . . . Tan writes with breath-catching poise and grace. [The Garden of Evening Mistsis a novel of] linguistic refinement and searching intelligence. . . . But for all its mission to ‘capture stillness on paper’. . .The Garden of Evening Mistsalso offers action-packed, end-of-empire storytelling.”

Review
“[A]
strong
quiet
novel
[of]
eloquent
mystery.”Booklist
“The unexpected relationship between a war-scarred woman and an exiled gardener leads to a journey through remorse to a kind of peace. After a notable debut, Eng (The Gift of Rain, 2008) returns to the landscape of his origins with a poetic, compassionate, sorrowful novel set in the aftermath of World War II in Malaya…Grace and empathy infuse this melancholy landscape of complex loyalties enfolded by brutal history, creating a novel of peculiar, mysterious, tragic beauty.” –Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
“As
intricately
designed
as
a
Japanese
garden,
this
deceptively
quiet
novel
resonates
with
the
power
to
inspire
a
variety
of
passionate
emotions…A
haunting
novel
certain
to
stay
with
the
reader
long
after
the
book
is
closed.”

REVIEW
“Like his debut,The Gift of Rain(2007), Tan’s second novel is exquisite…Tan triumphs again, entwining the redemptive power of storytelling with the elusive search for truth, all the while juxtaposing Japan’s inhumane war history with glorious moments of Japanese art and philosophy. All readers in search of spectacular writing will not be disappointed.”
