[quote=Anonymous]I just finished This Other Eden by Paul Harding, which was on the Booker prize list. I liked it. It's loosely inspired by a real place. In the novel, it's called Apple Island and is off the coast of Maine, settled in the late 1700s by a diverse group of people - former enslaved people, Penobscots, Irish - a real mishmash. Fast forward a century, and the people of the island, by modern standards, are living in squalor, hunger, and poverty. A well-meaning but highly prejudiced pastor comes to the island and tries to save them. You can probably guess what happens when the government takes an interest. [/quote]
