East of the Mountains is a novel by American author David Guterson, first published in 1999, and in paperback in 2000. His second full novel, it marks something of a change of pace from the taut courtroom drama of Snow Falling on Cedars(1994), being primarily focused on the chance actions and introspective musings of its protagonist over the course of a few days.

Reviews
"East of the Mountains remains a beautifully imagined work, in which the landscape reflects both Ben's desperation and his intermittent delight. And Guterson knows from the start what his protagonist learns in painful increments: that "a neat, uncomplicated end" doesn't exist on either side of the mountains." - James Marcus, Amazon.com[1]
East of the Mountains currently holds an aggregate rating of 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com¦Amazon.co.uk.[2]
