Synopsis
Few subjects could be less promising for a rhapsody than the Genesis story of Adam and Eve, and only a poet could hope to get away with a highly personal meditation on this theme. But then Mr. Bolt is a poet, and he has an unerring feeling for words and phrases. Picking his way through one snare after another, he never slips once into sentimentality, or into overdrawn descriptions of the scenery of Eden or of the beauty and innocence of Eve. In fact, he describes very little, and yet somehow the reader sees it all, and so vividly that he finds himself saying 'Yes, of course, it must have been just like that'. The beauty of the primal innocence of nature and man is the hardest thing in the world to communicate, but Mr. Bolt succeeds in doing it; and he is no less successful in his imaginative reconstruction of what Adam and Eve must have felt when they lost their innocence and also their garden, and what the consequences were for the beasts of the field."
