Eden, an abstract painter, journeys through reality and unreality as her life falls apart. Accompanied by a snake and a rhinocerous, she encounters a strange and surreal set of characters and situations, all while struggling to hold her life together and find what she is desperately missing. Through a stream of consciousness narrative we're drawn into Eden's struggles and to her ultimate fate.

Eden Fell is one of those books that, while I liked it a lot, I find difficult to explain, or show more sometimes follow. A lot of the pleasure of this book comes from the exquisite prose, and how well it drew me behind the eyes of Eden's character... and since she is often at the mercy of weird happenings, so was I. I love experiences like that, and too seldom find them. If you do too, I recommend this book. show less
