About this audiobook
*A story of greed, revenge, and love from the author of Nobber - 'A writer out to do whatever the hell he wants' Observer*
'Visceral, propulsive, kinetic . . . An unforgettable odyssey from one of the most daring writers at work today' Colin Walsh, author of the bestselling debut Kala
'Wild, dark and free-wheeling . . . cements Fagan as one of the most strikingly original Irish writers working today' Ferdia Lennon, author of the Sunday Times bestselling Glorious Exploits
At the close of the eighteenth century, Angel Kelly, an Irishman, sets sail from Liverpool aboard the Atlas with the intention of creating a Utopian commune in Brazil. But when a mutiny takes place on the ship, he finds himself stranded upon the coast of an unnamed Spanish colony in Latin America. In the aftermath, Kelly becomes unwittingly caught up in a series of crises culminating in displacement, rebellion and a deadly game of cat-and-mouse between empires.
Set in an era of global upheaval, Eden's Shore is an epic and intricate tale of greed, revenge and love. Populated by a vivid and rich cast of revolutionaries and pirates, capitalists and aristocrats, sailors and soldiers, slaves and spies, this is a work of staggering ambition and wondrous imagination.
'The best new young writer in Ireland' Colin Barrett, Booker-longlisted author of Wild Houses
'A striking new talent' The Times
