The last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, published posthumously in
1986, charts the life of a young American writer and his glamorous wife who
fall for the same woman. A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986,
The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which
he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. 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, The Garden of Eden
represents vintage Hemingway, the master doing what nobody did better (R.
Z. Sheppard, Time).
