Publisher Description
“This thriller is rich in brilliant discourses on religion, fanaticism, the meaning of ancient cave art, the speculative future, and love.”
—Library Journal
Sena Jeter Naslund, the New York Times bestselling author of Ahab’s Wife, Four Spirits, and Abundance explores both the dark nature of fundamentalism and the brightness of true faith in her dazzling novel, Adam & Eve. A provocative, eloquent, and deeply compelling story of a woman caught between two warring worlds—science and religion—Adam & Eve raises timely questions about identity, innocence, and sin, and represents a new literary high-water mark for New York Times Notable author and Harper Lee Award-winner Naslund.
Customer Reviews
Really great
At first slightly confusing but then ; I loved Adam and eve in the haven part the best! Love the author!
Not great
This book starts out ok but seems to fall flat. It's as though she lost the original enthusiasm in the beginning and found herself forced to find an ending and just let it fall where it may. The subject matter of discovering information about who why and what we are as human beings is what drew my attention to reading it. I was disappointed, the story is lack-luster and deflated. The huge build up to the translation of ancient texts leaves you with nothing. If you can get a copy for free it may be worth a read. Don't spend your money...
