Description
From the twice Booker-shortlisted author of Harvest and Quarantine, a spellbinding fable about love, fear and where authority lies.
No one is better at lending imaginative life to archetypes like this; he remains one of the most pleasurable stylists alive . . . [eden] sees him at the top of his game
One of our most original and inventive novelists
A fabulist, an open heart, an imagination in full flight . . . Crace is, quite simply, one of the great writers of our time
Crace's world-building is rigorous - he blends his talents as a fabulist with his love of writing about a natural world
Exquisite . . . Much of the book's pleasure lies in the sheer vigour with which he conveys the physicality of its ethereal elements
Powerful . . . the world-buidling in eden is impressive . . . Acclaimed for his stylish writing, Crace does not disappoint in his new book. The rhythmic, limpid prose, the easy cadence, seem particularly well suited to depictions of paradise
Since announcing his retirement in 2013, Jim Crace has had more comebacks than Kanye West, something for which we should all be thankful
Crace exults in the art of storytelling
Jim Crace writes with great flair and inimitable imagination
