On the eve of Eve
Eve is a freer, truer foundational story than the one we’ve been handed. It’s my own mind and heart (the questions I’ve been asking since I was twenty years old, memorizing Milton in an undergrad class, wondering why the villain of Genesis felt more like the hero).
Writing this novel didn’t feel very different from teaching. In my classroom, we search stories for what is contrived/manipulated again

"Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC.
How can a few lines ever do justice to the beauty and quiet magnificence of this retelling of a story we grew up with? The author breathes new life into Eve, reshaping her not as a symbol of shame or sin, but as a se" Read more of this review » |

"4.5 ⭐
Loved this one. It was beautifully written and was a wonderful retelling of Adam and Eve. With, obviously, the main focus on Eve. It focuses on her thirst for knowledge and her journey to gain that knowledge. I absolutely love how it brought in " Read more of this review » |

“The best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love.”
― Lyrical Ballads
― Lyrical Ballads
“The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.—Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
― The Major Works

“For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.”
― Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey
― Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey
“Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ask. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds -- justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can't go on. To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.”
