A review by bobthebookerer
eden by Jim Crace
4.0
As a fan of Crace's 2013 book Harvest, I was very excited to get to this book, and I found it a wonderfully bizarre daydream.
We spend most of the novel in the Garden of Eden, listening in to the petty squabbles of the people who live there and seeing how angels interact with one another. There are some great moments of humour, such as suspicions being cast on those scoffing tomatoes from the garden, or the strange social politics of everyone maintaining the order.
Although I occasionally found my mind drifting within the book, there was a lot of joy and wonder to be found in its pages.
I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
