Rose is the youngest of seven children, meant to replace her dead sister. Maybe because of that, shes never really fit in. Shes always felt different, out of place, a restless wanderer in a family of homebodies. So when an enormous white bear mysteriously shows up and asks her to come away with itin exchange for health and prosperity for her ailing familyshe readily agrees. Rose travels on the bears broad back to a distant and empty castle, where she is nightly joined by a mysterious stranger. In discovering his identity, she loses her heart-and finds her purposeand realizes her journey has just begun. As familiar and moving as Beauty and the Beast, yet as fresh and original as only the best fantasy can be, East is a bold retelling of the classic tale East of the Sun and West of the Moon, a sweeping story of grand proportions.
