Sea of Eden
By Andrés Ibáñez & Sophie HughesPublisher Description
WINNER OF SPAIN'S NATIONAL CRITICS AWARD
The epic literary adventure that has transfixed readers and critics alike in Spain
Almost four hundred passengers are on board the Boeing 747 en route from Los Angeles to Singapore. Only a handful will survive the crash.
Washed ashore on a tiny island with no means of contacting the outside world, tension and fear threaten to overwhelm the group. But as they endeavour, day by day, to survive, they find themselves forced to confront the reality of the lives they left behind.
Written in deftly cinematic prose, Andrés Ibáñez’s stunning novel is already considered a modern classic in Spain, expertly translated here by Sophie Hughes.
