Zusammenfassung:"Set at the beginning of the twentieth century and inspired by historical events, This other Eden tells the story of Apple Island: an enclave off the coast of the United States where waves of castaways - in flight from society and its judgment - have landed and built a home. 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 Honey's descendants remain, with an eccentric, diverse band of neighbours. Then comes the intrusion of 'civilisation': 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."--Klappentext
