{"product_id":"faulks-sebastian-farewell-to-eden","title":"Faulks, Sebastian - Farewell to Eden","description":"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.\n\nSome 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.\n\nFarewell to Eden is a sweeping and profound novel about faith in all its forms, and a rich portrait of an embattled post-war Britain. It asks the question: how, after great suffering, do we retain our humanity, learn to love again, and believe in the promise of a better life?","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"*Signed* Hardback Book","offer_id":51463060685078,"sku":"RMX-70136","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unsigned Hardback Book","offer_id":51463062290710,"sku":"RMX-70137","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/9781529153224_d8ee8899-5e58-4a9a-8680-bc7169d979b0.jpg?v=1782221299","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/faulks-sebastian-farewell-to-eden","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
