Learn moreA provocative epic of a story we know so well—or do we?
Once expelled from the Garden, Adam and Eve had to find their way past recriminations and bitterness to build a new life in a harsh land.
In Fallen, David Maine has drawn a convincing, enthralling portrait of a family—one driven (and riven) by familiar passions and jealousies. The result is a staggering achievement an intimate, hilarious, and utterly original telling of temptation and murder and of exile and loss.
