Cover of This Other Eden

This Other Eden

Paul Harding

from Dit andere paradijs vertelt het op ware gebeurtenissen gebaseerde verhaal van een eiland waar generaties verschoppelingen hun thuis hebben gebouwd, beginnend bij de Zwarte Benjamin Honey en zijn Ierse vrouw Patience. Ruim een eeuw later wonen hun nazaten nog steeds op Apple Island, samen met een zeer diverse groep buren. Ze zijn arm en lijden vaak honger, maar zijn gevrijwaard van de discriminatie en segregatie die op het vasteland aan de orde van de dag zijn. Tot de idealistische schoolmeester Matthew Diamond de aandacht van de autoriteiten vestigt op de in zijn ogen erbarmelijke omstandigheden, met de gedwongen evacuatie van het eiland tot gevolg. De bewoners gaan onverschrokken op zoek naar een nieuw paradijs.

Rachel Joyce

Harold Fry has recently retired and now, he doesn't do very much. Even mowing the lawn, like his wife Maureen tells him to do, seems too much work for him. When, one day, he recieves a lettre in a pink envelope, this lazyness changes. In it, his collegue from long time ago, Queenie Hennessy, tells him she is going to die soon from a cancer in a hospice at the other end of England. Harold, at first helpless, decides not only to write her back, but to walk the whole way from Kingsbridge to Berwick-upon-Tweed. During his walk, he will not only meet a lot of people, listen to their story, but also make a journey into his own past, his relation to both Maureen and Quennie and his son David. He is walking to save Queenie, but is he also saving himself?
