This Other Eden by Paul Harding
'Masterful . . . has much to say to our times' Guardian 'Begs to be read' Spectator 'A luminous, thought-provoking novel' Esi Edugyan, author of Washington Black In 1792, formerly enslaved Benjamin Honey and his Irish wife, Patience, discover an island where they can make a life together. More than a century later, the Honeys' descendants remain, with an eccentric, diverse band of neighbours. But during one tumultuous summer at the dawn of the twentieth century, one prejudiced missionary lands on the island's shores, disrupting the community's fragile balance with everlasting consequences.
