BOOK REVIEW: East of the West ~ A Country in Stories, by Miroslav Penkov


Miroslav Penkov is a talented young writer who captures his beloved homeland of #Bulgaria very masterfully in this collection of eight stirring, beautiful and often humorous short stories. Penkov is gifted in not only storytelling but also in character development. He won the BBC International Short Story Award in 2012 for his work.

This was the first collection of short stories we have read as a part of this project, and I really enjoyed getting to know the country from the perspectives of a number of different characters, timeframes and scenarios.


This was a fun, quick read and I enjoyed it very much! I highly recommend it!
