THE GARDEN OF EDEN tells the story of two women, Iris, a farm woman whose life is shattered by the premature death of her husband, and Iris's niece, Lannie, who is working alongside an aid organisation in the drought-ravaged deserts of Ethiopia. It is to Lannie that Iris turns for answers to the unresolved questions her husband's death has raised. And it is to Ethiopia and its tragic horrors that Iris travels in order to lose and ultimately to find herself again.
