Set on the Côte d'Azur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, and the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman. A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, and strangely contemporary, <i>The Garden of Eden</i> represents vintage Hemingway, the master doing what nobody did better (R. Z. Sheppard, <i>Time).</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A miracle, a fresh slant on the old magic." -- John Updike, "The New Yorker"<br><br>"Hemingway gives you the look and feel of places, the sensuous brilliance of the world's offerings, the excitement of complex relationships, the precision of a hunt or a breakfast, the tensions of sexual intrigue . . . In short, "The Garden of Eden" is a feast." -- Richard Stern, "Chicago Tribune Books"<br><br>"Hemingway's farewell, mannered, thrilling, spoiled, pure, loyal to its monumental maker and itself and with no knowledge of coming darkness." -- James Salter, "The Washington Post Book World"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time.
