A Kind Of Eden

"Martin Rawlinson is a stranger in a strange land, an Englishman in Trinidad, and he is relishing it. He has asked for his temporary consultancy position with the Trinidad police to be made permanent, and is hoping to start a new life with the beautiful Safiya, and perhaps to understand this intoxicating, troubled country. But first he must break the news to his wife, Miriam, and daughter, Georgia. Miriam has been counting down the months to his return. She and Georgia escape the English winter to visit Martin, and - Miriam hopes - to reclaim him. The week that follows will change everything, but not in the way any of them planned. A mesmerising, claustrophobic novel with a tragedy at its heart, A Kind of Eden asks a shattering question: can you forgive yourself for risking what you love most?"--Dust jacket.
