This Other Eden

Zusatztext

Set at the beginning of the twentieth century and inspired by historical events, <i>This Other Eden</i> 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 arrived on the island with his Irish wife 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.
