East of Eden by John Steinbeck.
I read it a few years ago, it was my second book in English (I'm Romanian). It's not easy to shortly discribe it because this book has everything you want. The plot is so complicated and the story is brilliantly interwoven. Through the well-developed characters, different emotions (love, depravity, hate, etc.) are explored with direct parallels to the Old Testament. Loved this book.

Sorry, my daughter is really into the 101 dalmations at the moment and I couldn't help myself.
Could you please try to explain the plot a bit? Thanks
Haha, no worries @wolfie, that was funny.
Apologize, I just discovered 'Replies' button :)) Still learning about using steemit.
The plot it's quite long and I don't want to plant spoilers. Shortly, Steinbeck describes the destinies of two families — the Trasks and the Hamiltons — whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel.
Thanks! Good luck on steemit, I hope you like it here. I've been here since September and I'm having a lot of fun and enjoy meeting new people all the time.
Thanks a lot! Yeah, I really like this community and same, enjoy meeting new people. Good luck to you too :)
