Magaly Luna Sierra reviews East to West across Russia: The Long Journey Home

Magaly Luna Sierra shared her thoughts on East to West across Russia: The Long Journey Home and wrote:

“My warmest congratulations to you, dear Daniel. What a very special book that you have written. It is many years since we last talked but I never forgot you and the importance that you played in my life. I remember the many conversations that we had and how you would talk with such interest and passion about Kafka and Camus, about Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, about Simone de Beauvoir and Flaubert. I had not read those writers then, but you spoke about them with such eloquence that I was enthralled to listen and tried to learn more. I did not know then that you would also become one of those writers. It is such a joy for me to see what you have become. Your story of broken love is so harrowing. I do not know if it is real or from your own imagination, but it is so human and filled with deep emotion and sensitivity. I will tell my students about you and open up a world to them filled with the wonder of life. You should be so proud of this, your first creation, Daniel. Please write more stories and fill your library with books.”

Reading Magaly’s words is profoundly touching. Her reflection carries a sense of shared history, admiration and deep understanding that makes this feedback especially meaningful. To know the book resonated on such a human and emotional level, and that it will be shared with her students, is an honour beyond words. Her encouragement and belief are truly humbling, and I am deeply grateful for her generosity and warmth.
