East of Eden by John Steinbeck is not just a novel; it's a profound exploration of the human experience that deserves a place on every bookshelf. This iconic piece of literature unfolds in the picturesque Salinas Valley of California, intricately linking the destinies of two families—the Trasks and the Hamiltons.

East of Eden delves into timeless themes such as:

  • Identity and Morality: Steinbeck invites readers to ponder the essence of good and evil through his richly developed characters.
  • Love and Rivalry: The narrative encapsulates the legendary struggles reminiscent of the biblical tales of Adam and Eve, alongside the enduring conflict of Cain and Abel.
  • Free Will: It raises existential questions regarding choices and the paths we forge in life.

Steinbeck's brilliant characterization brings to life unforgettable figures such as the conflicted Adam Trask and the manipulative Cathy Ames, each embodying the core struggles of the human condition. Recognized as a cornerstone of modern American fiction, East of Eden has received accolades for its literary significance and continues to resonate with readers across generations.

Whether you're revisiting this masterpiece or discovering its depths for the first time, prepare for an emotional journey that challenges and enriches. With its stunning prose and rich themes, East of Eden is an essential read, providing insights that linger long after the final page.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
