The epic literary adventure novel that has transfixed readers and
critics alike in Spain
En route from Los Angeles to Singapore, a passenger plane crashes into
the Pacific Ocean. Dozens of passengers survive, but with no means of
contacting the outside world and no sign of rescue on the horizon, they
must build a new life on a small, seemingly deserted island. The
eclectic group of survivors - which includes two Mormons, a Catholic
bishop, a yoga guru, and a Chilean writer with the mysterious moniker
Roberto B. - soon learn that nothing is quite as it seems in their new
home.
With its cinematic, vivid prose and unforgettable cast of characters,
Sea of Eden is at once a bold commentary on the way we live now and a
gripping adventure novel. Echoing the best of David Mitchell, Haruki
Murakami and Thomas Pynchon, this is already considered a modern classic
in Spain, expertly translated here by Sophie Hughes.
