Where the Silver River Ends
by Anna Quon
Description
Joan, a Chinese Canadian English conversation teacher who is unmoored in Europe, flees Budapest for a fresh start. Stepping off the train in Bratislava, she meets Milan, a proud Roma teenager, with whom she strikes up a friendship. The ensuing tale of youthful hope in the face of systemic oppression and racial violence, of family reconciliation and the magic of coincidence, asserts the primacy of love and courage in hard times. Where the Silver River Ends plumbs the depths of intergenerational relationships, mixed-race identity, and what happens when we gather the courage to step out of the current and make our own way in the world.
