She is perhaps the most famous woman in the world. Now Eve comes to life in a powerful reinvention of her centuries—old tale. A feast for the imagination, Eve: A Novel of the First Woman unites myth, religion, and ancient history in a literary debut that explores some of our most deeply rooted questions about life and human nature. We meet an extraordinarily moving version of Eve on these pages. She is a mother and a wife, a woman who is both nurturing and sensual, courageous and wise. She endures life’s struggles and mysteries, longing to understand God’s will and haunted by the memories of the paradise she shared with Adam. As tragedy looms for her sons, readers experience a stirring depiction of the very nature of evil—and a boundless love that defeats it.

The questions and discussion topics that follow are intended to enhance your reading of Elissa Elliott’s Eve. We hope they will enrich your experience of this breathtaking journey.
