About Farewell to Eden:Philip Deval, a soldier recently returned from the beaches of Normandy, arrives in Palestine on a peace-keeping mission in the final days of the British Mandate. The Sea of Galilee glitters in the distance as war-weary troops marvel at the novelty of oranges and sun – a paradise that belies a fierce new conflict about to erupt.Some years later, Philip begins work teaching at a school in the English countryside and meets the enigmatic music mistress, Frances Darwood. Over long evenings spent listening to records in her music room, they grow close. But Philip is a changed man, and must confront the secrets and scars of all he has lived through – which threaten, even now, to upend his future.About Sebastian Faulks:SEBASTIAN FAULKS has written twenty books, of which A Week in December and The Fatal Englishman were number one in the Sunday Times bestseller lists, as a well as a recent memoir, Fires Which Burned Brightly.
