In his new book, Paul Harding animates the story of Malaga, an island off the coast of Maine that was once the home of a mixed-race fishing community until the island's inhabitants were evicted by the state in 1912. Harding reimagines that history, transforming it into the fictional Apple Island, where the descendants of a formerly enslaved man, Benjamin Honey, and his Irish wife, Patience, have settled since the late 1700s. "This Other Eden" explores the contours of life on Apple Island in 1911, a little more than a century after the community's founding and on the eve of its destruction.

Hailed as a masterpiece, Tinkers, Paul Harding's Pulitzer Prize-winning debut, is a modern classic. Here, in Enon, Harding follows a year in the life of Charlie Crosby as he tries to come to terms with a shattering personal tragedy. Grandson of George Crosby (the protagonist of Tinkers), Charlie inhabits the same dynamic landscape of New England, its seasons mirroring his turbulent emotional odyssey. Along the way, Charlie's encounters are brought to life by his wit, his insights into history, and his yearning to understand the big questions. A stunning mosaic of human experience, Enon affirms Paul Harding as one of the most gifted and profound writers of his generation.
An old man lies dying. As time collapses into memory, he travels deep into his past where he is reunited with his father and relives the wonder and pain of his impoverished New England youth. At once heartbreaking and life affirming, Tinkers is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, and the fierce beauty of nature.

Mysteriöse Mordfälle, ein verlorener Königsschatz und ein Sittenskandal führen den königlichen Ermittler Hugh Corbett zur Zeit Eduards I. (1272-1307) zu einem schwierigen und gefährlichen Auftrag in die englische Provinz.
„Eine Stätte der Geister! Die Erde blutgetränkt! Häuser und Paläste auf dem Schweiß der Tagelöhner erbaut! Friedhöfe voller Leichen, deren Seelen Gott um Rache anflehen!“ Mit diesen Worten beschrieb der Prediger die Stadt London im Herbst 1380. „Die Hure Babylon!“ rief er von der Cheap-side. Er sah Satan und seine gefallenen Seraphim über den Himmel Londons ziehen. Doch seine eindringlichen Worte fanden wenig Gehör bei den Einwohnern und der königlichen Flotte, die gerade von der Patrouille zurückgekehrt war. Die Matrosen strömten an Land, und die Schenken hallten von ihrem Lärm wider. Angewidert zog der Prediger seine Sandalen aus und schüttelte den Staub ab, entschlossen, sich von den Bewohnern dieses neuen Babylon zu distanzieren. In der Schenke „Zum Löwenherz“ in Southwark saß er, nachdem er durch die dreckigen Straßen gegangen war, die von offenen Kloaken überschwemmt waren. Er hatte Bordelle und Wirtshäuser gesehen und sogar einem Mann zugesehen, der seine Ohren vom Pranger losreißen musste. Der Prediger, dessen Pflicht er als erfüllt betrachtete, wollte London verlassen und hinunter zu den Fünf Häfen ziehen. Einige Damen auf der Cheapside hatten ihm Silbermünzen gegeben, doch er hatte sie verachtet und ihnen ins Gesicht gespien. „Frauen von London! Noch immer zeigt ihr keine Reue!“ rief er, während er auf ihre geschminkten Gesichter und prächtigen Kleider deutete.
Oxford, im Jahre 1303: Ein Mörder treibt in der Universitätsstadt sein Unwesen und verbreitet Angst und Schrecken. Sir Hugh Corbett nimmt sich des Falles an und gerät schon bald selbst in tödliche Gefahr.
Ein blutiger Krieg tobt im Sommer 1380 zwischen England und Frankreich. Als auf einem einsamen englischen Landgut ein französischer Adeliger ermordet wird, der dort als Geisel festgehalten wurde, stehen Sir John Cranston, Coroner des Königs, und sein Sekretär, der Dominikaner Athelstan, vor einer schweren Aufgabe. Wenn es ihnen nicht gelingt, den Giftmord aufzuklären, ist ein Vergeltungsschlag der Franzosen unabwendbar.»Keiner taucht so tief, so fröhlich vulgär ins englische Mittelalter ein.« Brigitte
England, 14. Jahrhundert: Der königliche Ermittler Hugh Corbett wird in der Stadt York in eine Serie geheimnisvoller Morde verstrickt, bei der auch die Tempelritter ihre Finger im Spiel haben.
Eine rätselhafte Mordserie und eine schöne Mörderin mit edlen Motiven fordern im mittelalterlichen London den detektivischen Scharfsinn des Ordensgeistlichen Athelsan und seines Freundes Sir John Cranston heraus.
Mehrere adlige Abgeordnete in Westminster werden im Jahre 1340 auf ebenso grausame wie geheimnisvolle Weise ermordet. Der königliche Coroner und sein geistlicher, mit detektivischem Scharfsinn hochbegabte Sekretär stehen vor einem politisch brisanten Rätsel.
Scandal, murder and treason... Athelstan and Cranston are back with a bang.Winter, 1379. French privateers are attacking the southern coast and threaten London itself, the very heart of the nation.The situation becomes dire when an English flotilla of warships, with the colossal God's Bright Light among them, drops anchor in the Thames; during the first night, the entire watch of the ship disappears without a trace. The series of murderous and strange incidents leads to Sir John and Brother Athelstan being summoned to resolve the mysteries on board the ill-omened warship. Their investigations uncover some shocking truths - and they find themselves in the thick of a bloody battle on the Thames
Was wäre der trinkfreudige Londoner Coroner Sir John Cranston ohne seinen detektivisch scharfsinnigen Gehilfen und Schreiber, den Ordensgeistlichen Athelstan, der auch in dem komplizierten Fall die schwierigsten Knoten löst.
In December 1377 a great frost has the city in its icy grip; even the Thames is frozen from bank to bank. Murder, revenge and treachery also make their presence felt. The Constable of the Tower of London, Sir Ralph Whitton, is found murdered in a cold bleak chamber in the North Bastion. The door is still locked from the inside and guarded by trusted retainers - so how did the assassins slip across a frozen moat and climb the sheer wall to commit such a dreadful crime? Athelstan and Sir John Cranston, the wine-loving coroner of the city of London, are appointed to investigate these mysteries. They soon discover Sir Ralph's murder is only the first in a series of macabre killings which have their roots in a terrible act of betrayal committed many years previously.
It is 1376, and the famed Black Prince has died of a terrible rotting sickness, closely followed by his father, King Edward III. The crown of England is now left in the hands of a mere boy—the future Richard II—and the great nobles have gathered like hungry wolves around the empty throne. A terrible power struggle threatens the country, and one of London's powerful merchant princes is foully murdered within a few days of Edward’s death. Coroner Sir John Cranston and Dominican monk Brother Athelstan are ordered to investigate, and the body count begins to rise, Cranston and Athelstan are drawn ever deeper into a dark web of intrigue.
