A PLACE NEAR EDEN by Nell Pierce
Nell Pierce’s A PLACE CALLED EDEN is the 2022 winner of The Australian / Vogel’s Literary Award that has launched the careers of over a hundred Australian authors. The award is one of Australia’s richest and most prestigious awards for an unpublished manuscript by a writer under the age of thirty-five.
‘Lyrical, gritty and compelling ... a story of haunted truth-seeking.’- CAROLINE OVERINGTON, The Australian
‘A skilfully written, insightful novel ... absorbing and a pleasure to read.’- HSU-MING TEO, previous winner of The Australian/Vogel’s Literary Award for Love and Vertigo
A Place Near Eden explores the concept of truth, the flaws in memory and family, and the Australian adoption and foster system set against the backdrop of the Far South Coast's rugged coastline.
