Original: ‘East of Eden’ and the Families We Choose to Forgive
A new essay reflects on John Steinbeck's novel 'East of Eden', focusing on the theme of forgiveness within families. The piece explores how the book's characters confront betrayal, jealousy and reconciliation, and why readers continue to see their own family struggles in the story. Steinbeck's retelling of the Cain and Abel story remains a touchstone for readers weighing whether to forgive relatives who have hurt them.
Why now: The essay's personal take on a classic novel's family themes resonates with readers reflecting on their own relationships.
