The Language of Paradise by Barbara Klein Moss

Buy this book at Amazon or for Kindle

The microcosm encased within a glass terrarium on the book cover for The Language of Paradise evokes the poignant contradictions of the story it contains: nurtured wilderness, love and estrangement, caged Arcadia, Art, Science, and Theology…

Caught in her husband’s quest for the prelapsarian language in which Adam named all the creatures of the Earth, Sophy Hedge stands at the threshold of the Garden of Eden he has constructed inside a greenhouse, pregnant with their first child. Sophy must choose whether to remain in replicated paradise with her husband or escape to save her child and herself.
