The new novel from the winner of the Pulitzer Prize ************ `A testament of love: love of kin, love of nature, love of art, love of self, love of home.` Danez Smith, New York Times`A luminous, thought-provoking novel.` Esi Edugyan, author of Washington BlackSet at the beginning of the twentieth century and inspired by historical events, This Other Eden tells the story of Apple Island: an enclave off the coast of the United States where waves of castaways - in flight from society and its judgment - have landed and built a home.Benjamin Honey- American, Bantu, Igbo- born enslaved- freed or fled at fifteen- aspiring orchardist, arrived on the island with his Irish wife, Patience, and discovered they could make a life together there. More than a century later, the Honeys` descendants remain, with an eccentric, diverse band of neighbours. Then comes the intrusion of `civilization`: officials determine to `cleanse` the island, and a missionary schoolteacher selects one light-skinned boy to save. The rest will succumb to the authorities` institutions or cast themselves on the waters in a new Noah`s Ark.Full of lyricism and power, Paul Harding`s This Other Eden explores the hopes and dreams and resilience of those seen not to fit a world brutally intolerant of difference.
