      "Strange Eden: A Novel" by Gina Giordano is an epic-length tropical gothic that follows Eliza Hastings, an Englishwoman who marries Lord Charles Sharpe and moves to the Bahamas in 1791. Eliza hopes for a fresh start but is confronted with the horrors of slavery, colonial politics, and the cruelty of her husband. The book explores Eliza's attempts to navigate island society and her relationships with Captain Hiram Bruin and Jean Charles de Longchamp. While the pacing is slow and some storylines are left unresolved, readers interested in a gothic novel with insights into colonial injustices will find this book engaging.
