Another Kind of Eden by James Lee Burke (English) Compact Disc Book

Description: Another Kind of Eden by James Lee Burke, Will Patton New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke brings readers a captivating tale of justice, love, brutality, and mysticism set in the turbulent 1960s. The American West in the early 1960s appears to be a pastoral paradise: golden wheat fields, mist-filled canyons, frolicking animals. Aspiring novelist Aaron Holland Broussard has observed it from the open door of a boxcar, riding the rails for both inspiration and odd jobs. Jumping off in Denver, he finds work on a farm and meets Joanne McDuffy, an articulate and fierce college student and gifted painter. Their soul connection is immediate, but their romance is complicated by Joannes involvement with a shady professor who is mixed up with a drug-addled cult. When a sinister businessman and his son who wield their influence through vicious cruelty set their sights on Aaron, drawing him into an investigation of grotesque murders, it is clear that this idyllic landscape harbors tremendous power--and evil. Followed by a mysterious shrouded figure who might not be human, Aaron will have to face down all these foes to save the life of the woman he loves and his own. The latest installment in James Lee Burkes masterful Holland family saga, Another Kind of Eden is both riveting and one of Burkes most ambitious works to date. It dismantles the myths of both the twentieth-century American West and the peace-and-love decade, excavating the beauty and idealism of the era to show the menace and chaos that lay simmering just beneath the surface.

Review "Fans of James Lee Burke and narrator Will Patton wont be disappointed in this latest chapter of the Holland family saga. Patton sets the tone with a dry, almost husky, telling of a story focused on the 1960s and the American West. His delivery of Burkes novel reminds listeners of why Patton runs the risk of being better known as a narrator than an actor. His measured speech is pitch-perfect for this story of what a man will do for the woman he loves, a mysterious figure who may or may not be of this world, and the hope offered by the 1960s."-- "AudioFile Magazine" Details ISBN1797122177 Author Will Patton Publisher Simon & Schuster Audio Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 1797122177 ISBN-13 9781797122175 Format Compact Disc Publication Date 2021-08-17 Imprint Simon & Schuster Audio Playing time 380 Narrator Will Patton DEWEY 813.54 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
