Here's what readers have to say about this book....
Paperback edition by Abigail Griffin “I couldn’t put this book down!” If you’re looking for a page turner, look no further. The layers and moods of this story make for a very exciting and enjoyable read. Not just sci fi by any means, its themes, twists and turns, I imagine could satisfy any reader. Frost clearly knows this stuff. I can see myself reading this again in the future. It’s safe to say, I love Dreams of Eden - I highly recommend. 30th January 2025
I loved this book, it took me to another world and I indulgently wiped out the whole weekend with a non stop binge. Dreams of Eden flows beautifully in both time and place. Jonathan Frost's ability to jump smoothly through the years gives the novel a historical depth that only someone with a knowledge of archaeology could achieve. The many layers of plot engage the reader in a fantastic world that weaves its way in and out of the characters lives, leaving you wondering what is real. The love story between Elizebeth and Isaac is both touching and believable. Their personal journey through this fantastical world is put into stark contrast to their alien reality. In particular, I enjoyed the brief visit to 1970 and could have stayed there enjoying the descriptions of both parties and people that is bound to resonate with readers of a certain age. The graphic description of war is both human and in-human as it should be. The author's experience of Iraq shows in the detail of the place and the characters. From goat herders to military officials, the reader is taken into a foreign land of different beliefs and values. In short, I greatly enjoyed Dreams of Eden, my only criticism is the ending. A sudden wake-up call to us all, that is deeply moving. The stark reality does leave an opening for more from this author, but at present don’t expect to be walking off into the sunset with Mr Frost.
