Eden

From the twice Booker-shortlisted author of Harvest and Quarantine, a spellbinding fable about love, fear and where authority lies. Set in a walled garden, whose inhabitants live an eternal and unblemished life, eden opens with a summons. The gardeners of eden are called by their masters, the angels, to see a dead body. It is that of a bird, a creature who has strayed beyond the garden walls.
