Critical Praise

"Eve is an enchanting novel, rich with emotion and power.  Elliott's masterful prose brilliantly brings an ancient world to vibrant life.  A truly remarkable debut, thought provoking and intriguing."

—India Edghill, author of The Queenmaker and Wisdom’s Daughter: A Novel of Solomon and Sheba

"Elliott has crafted a powerful story, beautifully told, of a family in crisis. Her voice is sure, her prose lyrical, her characters memorable."

—Jeanne Kalogridis, author of I, Mona Lisa and The Borgia Brides

"Elissa Elliott's debut is Biblical fiction at its absolute best. Like Anita Diamant and Marek Halter, Elliott reaches across the millennia to embrace a woman whose story has never fully been told. A thought-provoking and gripping read, Elliott has triumphed with her wholly original Eve: A Novel of the First Woman."

—Michelle Moran, authorof Nefertiti and The Heretic Queen

"Eve is a beautiful novel, richly imagined. Elissa Elliott has written about Eve in such a new way, and by exploring her heart, conflicts, desires, and choices, she illuminates our own. I loved the intimate tone, and although I know how the story goes, I found myself reading on the edge of my seat. This novel is irresistible, and if it were an apple, I would have to eat it."

—New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice
