Author: Sumner Locke Elliot
Hard cover with dust jacket. Very good condition. First edition.
Edens Lost by Sumner Locke Elliott is a nuanced coming-of-age novel set in 1920s Australia, following the sensitive and observant Angus Weekes as he is drawn into the glamorous yet troubled world of the St. James family. Living among them in their decaying country estate, Angus becomes both captivated and unsettled by their beauty, secrets, and emotional entanglements, particularly the intense bond between the three St. James sisters. As he moves between their rural home and Sydney’s social circles, Angus gradually uncovers the illusions, disappointments, and self-deceptions underpinning their lives. The novel blends nostalgia with quiet tragedy, revealing how innocence is eroded not by dramatic events but by the slow unraveling of ideals, relationships, and the fragile dreams people construct to survive.
