Krátky popis
From the winner of the Pulitzer Prize, a profoundly moving story of
an island refuge, and a community of outcasts living on borrowed
time. A novel inspired by the true story of the once racially
integrated Malaga Island off the coast of Maine, by the Pulitzer
Prize-winning author of Tinkers. In 1792, formerly enslaved
Benjamin Honey and his Irish wife, Patience, discovered an island
where they could make a life together.More than a century later,
the Honeys' descendants remain there, with an eccentric, diverse
band of neighbors- a pair of sisters raising three Penobscot
orphans, Theophilus and Candace Larks and their nocturnal brood,
the prophetic Zachary Hand To God Proverbs, a Civil War veteran who
carves Biblical images in a hollow tree. Then comes the intrusion
of ",civilization",- eugenics-minded state 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, This Other Eden explores the
hopes and dreams and resilience of those seen not to fit a world
brutally intolerant of difference.
