Benjamin Honey- American, Bantu, Igbo- born enslaved- freed or fled at fifteen- aspiring orchardist, arrived on the island with his Irish wife, Patience, 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. Then comes the intrusion of 'civilization': 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, Paul Harding's This Other Eden explores the hopes and dreams and resilience of those seen not to fit a world brutally intolerant of difference. *651 $aMaine$2bokbas$9nob$_41798200 *655 7$aHistorisk litteratur$9nob$2bokbas$_21923100 *655 7$aRomaner$9nob$2bokbas$_20961500 *852##$iH *85641$amedia.boknett.no$qimage/jpeg$uhttps://media.boknett.no/objects/02/08/150460802/productimage_ORG_5535bec0dca34f8736a383b36c972c5827a63fb9.jpg$3Omslagsbilde ^
