Eve

"Lucidly rendered from the first woman's point of view, Eve manages to be essentially faithful to scripture and yet boldly original. As we should have seen all along, Eve is the hero of the story, and if God's ways to men are to be justified, it can only be through her unique creative power." -- John Rumrich, author of Matter of Glory and Milton Unbound O'Connor's thirst for knowledge takes classical Eve on a heroine's journey. In Eve she is thirsty to drink in language, culture, and all the Creators to understand how the heart loves and the soul believes, how one lonely body can be a universe. -- Amy Solo, author of Wild Sonnets From the Underground Forest and Mothers, Lovers, and Roadside Burials Despite its reimagining of a centuries-old mythology, every page of Eve is an urgent and brilliantly written odyssey of sensual passion, existential hunger and feminine rage that should be relevant and accessible to any modern reader. Fans of Christopher Moore's Lamb or Neil Gaiman's American Gods will be delighted by the ambitious weaving of ancient mythology with domestic drama in Eve, captivated by the visceral writing and relatable craving to uncover the purpose behind the human experience. -- Josiah Hesse, author of On Fire For God: Fear, Shame, Poverty, and the Making of the Christian Right - A Personal History Eve is a lush, resonant novel that reimagines Eve's wandering quest for the answers of existence. -- Foreword Reviews Eve is the most satisfying book I've read this year, especially because in this story, Eve is not depicted as a weak, sinful woman responsible for the fall of humankind but as the bearer of wisdom and a heroine. The author did a magnificent job of justifying Eve's curiosity and her pursuit of knowledge and crafting a new yet captivating version of Lucifer, the fallen angel. -- Readers' Favorite
