About this listen
'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
'Oisin Fagan is a true original' Irish Examiner

Critic Reviews
Fagan is shaping up to be one of the most dazzling and daring stylists around
Wild, dark and free-wheeling, this epic of colonialism and revolution cements Fagan as one of the most strikingly original Irish writers working today (Ferdia Lennon, author of the Sunday Times bestselling GLORIOUS EXPLOITS)
Visceral, propulsive, kinetic . . . a glorious firework display of ambition, imagination and ideas. This is an unforgettable odyssey from one of the most daring writers at work today (Colin Walsh, author of the bestselling debut KALA)
Unexpectedly hilarious and very beautiful . . . Eden's Shore often felt like a sort of maritime Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy's portentous masterpiece of the American west - and it will no doubt divide readers along similar lines. But I'd be hard pressed to think of higher praise
Exuberant, often darkly funny prose propels readers through a historical novel like few others
While savagery abounds, moments of wonder act as reprieve in this ambitious text
A tremendous romp of a tale
Rich and beautifully told
A tale of greed, revenge and love from one of Ireland's best young writers
His writing is colourful but pacey, and Eden's Shore flies along at a fierce clip, leaving a lasting impression and a sense of excitement at where Fagan will turn his sights next
