I was blown away by Tosca Lee's first novel, Demon, a Memoir. To be honest, I thought she'd have trouble coming up with anything worthy of following that book. I am thrilled beyond words to say that I was wrong. Havah is an absolutely beautiful novel.
This is the story of Adam and Eve as it really might have been. The garden of Eden is vivid through the perspective of Havah (Eve), and the unspoiled relationship between the first couple is a thing of beauty. I knew what was coming -- we all know -- but even so, I wept as the depth of their loss and ours was brought home in such a vivid way. Havah's life swept me forward from that event. The writing is poetic and lyrical, the story compelling and captivating. I highly recommend this book!
