Dalla fine del Settecento fino al 1912, l’isola di Malaga accolse una comunità di pescatori composta da afroamericani, bianchi poveri e altre etnie che avevano trovato rifugio su quel lembo di terra nel Golfo del Maine. Nel 1912, il governatore dello Stato decretò «lo sgombero dei quarantasette residenti e la traslazione delle salme dei loro defunti». Un atto che sancí con efferata violenza la fine di quella comunità. In Un altro Eden, con la grazia della sua impeccabile scrittura, Paul Harding ritorna su quella vicenda crudele per narrare una magnifica storia «fatta di poesia e luce solare», come ha scritto il New York Times. Il romanzo si apre nel 1793 con l’arrivo ad Apple Island – cosí l’isola viene ribattezzata nella finzione letteraria – di Benjamin Honey, nero nato in schiavitú, e di sua moglie Patience, irlandese di Galway. Aspirante frut-ticultore, Benjamin Honey sbarca sull’isola con dodici sacchetti di iuta contenenti semi di diverse varietà di mele e, con ostinata pazienza, riesce a creare il suo piccolo Eden: un frutteto di trentadue meli. Piú di un secolo dopo, nel 1911, una manciata di esseri umani vive sull’isola: i discendenti di Benjamin e Patience Honey, innanzi tutto, Esther Honey e suo figlio Eha, i figli di Eha; le sorelle McDermott, che passano le giornate a lavare i panni e ad accudire tre orfani; i fratellastri Lark, abili pescatori dai capelli e dagli occhi incolori, ereditati da padri africani, mamme irlandesi e nonni svedesi, e i loro quattro figli, vaganti per l’isola come spettri gentili e affamati; la vecchia Annie Parker e Zachary Hand to God Proverbs che vive in un albero cavo. Gli abitanti di Apple Island conducono un’esistenza semplice e povera nel loro piccolo Eden, in cui ciascuno è libero di prendersi cura delle proprie ore e dei propri giorni. Ignorano, dunque, che qualcun altro possa decidere del loro tempo e decretarne addirittura la fine. Ignorano anche i tormenti di Matthew Diamond, il missionario bianco che ogni mattina rema fino all’isola per predicare e insegnare tutto lo scibile ai bambini. Fermamente convinto che ogni uomo è suo fratello, Matthew Diamond non può, tuttavia, fare a meno di provare un istintivo e viscerale senso di repulsione ogni volta che si trova, come afferma con candore in una lettera, «alla presenza di un negro». Angustiato dal senso di colpa, si rivela non soltanto impotente dinanzi alla distruzione della piccola comunità di Apple Island, decretata dai deliri eugenetici e razzisti dell’epoca, ma anche incapace di scorgere in quel lembo di terra un’antica verità della sua fede: che l’Eden è dei poveri e dei semplici. «Ed eccoci di nuovo di fronte al grande talento di Harding». The New York Times «Harding scrive con la gravitas di un creatore di miti... Il ritmo della narrazione è maestoso, le descrizioni, anche di piccoli eventi, stupende... Un altro Eden è bellissimo e straziante... come il luogo reale che lo ha ispirato». Claire Messud «Con una prosa lirica e audace, Un altro Eden racconta un’utopia nel momento del suo declino. Dinanzi alle storie degli isolani ci troviamo a interrogarci sulla natura ambigua della compassione, sui limiti della tolleranza e su cosa significhi realmente essere salvati. Un romanzo luminoso, che fa riflettere». Esi Edugyan, autrice de Le avventure di Washington Black

Chi non è rimasto almeno una volta incantato dal mondo misterioso dei venditori ambulanti, dai loro carretti così carichi di oggetti semplici, ingegnosi, meccanici, che essi sapevano riparare grazie a un''arte tramandata da tempo immemorabile? È questo il mondo da cui proviene George Washington Crosby; è questo il mondo a cui ritorna mentre, steso su un letto d''ospedale al centro del soggiorno della sua casa nel New England, si prepara a concludere la sua vita circondato dai famigliari e accompagnato dal tintinnio dei suoi orologi cui per anni si è dedicato come meticoloso restauratore. Meravigliosi meccanismi di tutte le epoche e fogge che sono stati a lungo il legame, negato ma indissolubile, con il mondo della sua infanzia e di suo padre Howard, un uomo silenzioso, sognante, poetico, il quale stentatamente manteneva quattro figli e una moglie insoddisfatta girovagando con il suo carro pieno di mercanzie tra i boschi del Maine. Il carro arrivava insieme al suo solitario guidatore a offrire spazzole, polvere dentifricia, calze di nylon, crema da barba, lucido da scarpe, manici di scopa, pentole, e persino gioielli da quattro soldi a donne rudi e senza più sogni, a uomini che finivano troppo presto le loro scorte di gin e sigarette, a eremiti in un mondo dominato dalle stagioni, dal sole e dal gelo, dagli alberi, dai laghi e dai ruscelli, da leggende e da poche parole. Mentre le funzioni vitali lo abbandonano, George ritrova Howard così come non aveva mai permesso a se stesso di immaginarlo, e di quell''uomo simile a un veggente rivede anche i segni dell''incurabile e misteriosa malattia: l''epilessia. Un dramma che era quasi in sintonia con quella natura imprevedibile e spesso impetuosa in cui il venditore ambulante viveva immerso: un eccesso di energia, di elettricità lo colpiva così come il fulmine colpisce il bosco, e lo lasciava stordito e sanguinante dopo angosciosi minuti trascorsi sul pavimento a scalciare, rovesciare le lampade, sbattere la testa sulle assi, mentre i denti mordevano un bastoncino. Oppure le dita del figlio, di George adolescente che in seguito, per anni, non aveva più saputo se odiare o amare quel padre folle, ma che ora finalmente riesce a incontrare, e solamente ad amare. L''ultimo inverno è un romanzo d''esordio di rara potenza espressiva, dominato da un linguaggio plasmato dalla penna di un grande scrittore, un romanzo sull''America di ieri e di oggi che parla dell''amore tra un padre e un figlio, della fierezza della natura, del ricordo e della fantasia.

In autumn 1379, the power of the British crown is invested in John of Gaunt, and the kingdom is seething with discontent. The French are attacking the southern ports and peasants are planning a revolt organized by a mysterious leader who proclaims himself "IRA DEI," the anger of God. Meanwhile Gaunt''s tenuous plans are plunged into chaos by a series of bloody murders in London. In desperation, Gaunt turns to Sir John Cranston to catch the killer and recover a vanished king''s ransom in gold. Together with his ally Brother Athelstan, Cranston must face threats from the most powerful classes as well as attacks from the seedy underworld--along with a chilling exorcism--in order to bring a subtle murderer to justice.
