Eden's Shore

<p><b>''Unexpectedly hilarious and very beautiful . . . <i>Eden''s Shore</i> often felt like a sort of maritime <i>Blood Meridian</i> . . . I''d be hard pressed to think of higher praise'' AK Blakemore, <i>Guardian</i>, Book of the Day<br></b><br>At the close of the eighteenth century, Angel Kelly, an Irishman, sets sail from Liverpool aboard the <i>Atlas</i> with the intention of creating a Utopian commune in Brazil. But when a mutiny takes place on the ship, he finds himself stranded upon the coast of an unnamed Spanish colony in Latin America. In the aftermath, Kelly becomes unwittingly caught up in a series of crises culminating in displacement, rebellion and a deadly game of cat-and-mouse between empires.<br><br>Set in an era of global upheaval, <i>Eden''s Shore</i> is an epic and intricate tale of greed, revenge and love. Populated by a vivid and rich cast of revolutionaries and pirates, capitalists and aristocrats, sailors and soldiers, slaves and spies, this is a work of staggering ambition and wondrous imagination.<br><br><b>''Visceral, propulsive, kinetic'' Colin Walsh, author of <i>Kala</i><br><br>''Wild, dark and free-wheeling '' Ferdia Lennon, author of G<i>lorious Exploits</i></b></p>
