“I devoured
Eden
in hungry gulps, unable to put it down, just the way I read as a teenager! It’s thrilling, compulsive, beautifully written and powerful in its evocation of a person, and a place… A gripping story that will haunt the reader for a long time after the last page is turned.”
Julia Green

“Heart-stopping, unsettling and utterly beautiful.”
Liz Bankes
