Fiction
From the internationally acclaimed author of The
Preservationist comes a provocative retelling of the story
of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel: a novel that gives new
meaning to the words “temptation,” “rivalry,” and “murder.” Their expulsion from the Garden is only the beginning: Eve
and Adam have to find their way past recriminations and
bitterness, to construct a new life together in a harsh
land. But the challenges are many for the world’s first
family. Among their children are Cain and Abel, and soon
they must discover how to be parents to one son who is
everything they could hope for, and another who is sullen,
difficult, and rife with insecurities and jealousies. In
the background, always, is the incomprehensibility of God’s
motives as He watches over their faltering attempts to
build a life. In Fallen, David Maine has drawn a
convincing, wryly observant, and enthralling portrait of a
family--one driven (and riven) by passions, irrationality,
and love. The result is an intimate, in-depth story of
brothers, a husband, and a wife--people whose struggles are
both completely familiar and yet utterly original.
