The book "East Of Eden" ,written by John Steinback in the 1900's, is a saga. It tells the story of twin brothers, Cal and Aron and the previous generation Charles and Adam Trask. this book is about the complex relationships between families. The characters are complex. No one is totally good or totally bad. And when you get to know them, you learn to understand and love them, as if they are part of your life.
Caleb and Aron did not get much love from their father when they were young. Thanks to a close friend of their father's, they rediscovered their father's love. Despite this love, there were a lot of conflicts inside this family. For example, Cal was always jealous of his brother and the reader can notice this through Cal's actions.
Cal and Aron always assumed that their mother had been dead, until one night when Cal found out the truth. He changed, and as a result, all the relationships in the family changed for the worse. This way their lives changed and they had to deal with new conflicts, new discoveries and lies.
This book should be read by lovers of classic novels and mystery books. written by one of the best American writers of all times. I think it is well worth reading, despite being over 500 pageslong. The characters are real, the story is real, so we can all imagine ourselves in these situations. It feels so real, that the characters stays with you long after you have finished reading this great novel
