<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From a lead writer of the original <i>In Treatment</i> TV series comes an accomplished, acutely observed novel (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>). <p/>Eden is not the paradise it appears to be. It is a stifling rural Israeli community in which upscale urban escapees Alona and Mark try to salvage their relationship under the resentful scrutiny of Roni, Mark's adolescent daughter, who feels empowered by her sexual adventures with older men. The neighbors, Dafna and Eli, are in crisis, too, their marriage rent by the torment of infertility. Set against a backdrop of Middle East fears, family entanglements, disappearing countryside, and disappointed expectations, Yael Hedaya's <i>Eden </i>brilliantly renders the strains of unrest in what, on the surface, seems an idyllic place.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Reads like a psychologically astute Israeli version of <i>American Beauty</i>." --<i>New York magazine</i> <p/>"An ambitious dissection of contemporary Israeli society...a rich emotional tapestry." --<i>The Jerusalem Post</i> <p/>"A graceful exploration of loneliness, and the worm that gnaws at the heart of all things." --<i>Kirkus Reviews (starred review)</i> <p/>"Hedaya does an excellent job of presenting the struggles, joys, and intimate moments of middle age....An austere, beautifully crafted, and many-voiced novel." --<i>Booklist</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Yael Hedaya</b> is the head writer for <i>In Treatment</i>, the acclaimed Israeli TV series adapted for HBO.
