Outside of Eden is 'memoir fiction', a piece of a real life fashioned into stories that, if read through, form an autobiography. Working through some extraordinary experiences from my teens to mid-thirties, the journey moves through the 1970s to 1990, travelling from Swansea to Aberystwyth, West Germany & Kenya. But it's not a straightforward travelogue - it's a chance to reach under someone else's skin, to travel with them from childhood to growing maturity. It's full of humour as well as heartbreak, the story of leaving behind a small piece of Eden & desperately trying to find something like it again ...'
"Helen Nathaniel Fulton's electric combination of the visceral and compassionate invites the reader into her memories of post-war Germany where, as a student worker, she competes with immigrants for a range of appallingly brutal and mind-numbing jobs. She witnesses overt racism towards and among the immigrants, and must endure sexism towards herself. The decepetively calm tone draws the reader in, as though these stories are being related over a cup of coffee - but watch out for those narrative swerves! It's a riveting read and belongs on your bedside table."
- Sandra Hunter, author of Losing Touch (From reviews of the anthology Of Myths and Mothers)
