Synopsis
"What's best about 'Out of Eden' is its brave, complicated ideas about women and the West ... Kate Lehrer, who previous novel, 'When They Took Away the Man in the Moon,' also dealt with the conflicting desires of a strong woman, stakes out fascinating turf here ... This is terrific material for full-bodied storytelling ... One can almost imagine a clever director turning this saga of Victorian gentlewomen into a cowgirls' Thelma and Louise." -- The Washington Post

Review
A kind of cross between Sense and Sensibility and Little House on the Prairie. Spurned, disillusioned with love, and feeling constrained by rigid social circumstances in late 19th-century Paris, Lydia Fulgate and Charlotte Duret head to the plains of Kansas to stake out independent lives. All is well until, you guessed it, the men show up.
From the Inside Flap
oving tale of regret and compromise values a sense of family over lonely career advancement, yet thankfully avoids positing marriage and children as a strong woman's only reprieve from alienation."--Publisher's Weekly.
