I genuinely loved the ease with which Beatrice disregards soo many ‘rules and regulations’ that didn’t suit her needs.
A powerful, gorgeous, emotional story which highlights the power of just how influential faith and belief can truly be. However, it was the use of the word 'meaningless' just three pages from the end that saw a further star slip away.The book picked up pace in the second half and appears to be a feminist expose of the misogyny of organised Christian religion. The writing is exquisite and the narration good, but the book has an intricate plot and I wanted the ability to flick back and check details as I worked through the novel. But God had previously made this covenant with our ancestor, Adam, in the same terms, before he left the garden, when he was at the tree from which Eve had taken the fruit and given it to him to eat.

The Book of Eve features Sister Beatrice, the covent's librarian, who prefers to be with her books and manuscripts than people, even her sisters of the convent.

Then God in his mercy for Adam who was made after his own image and likeness, explained to him that these were 5,500 years, and how one would then come and save him and his descendants. The romance is helped by the charm of Danjel Lavdie who plays off Bloom's elegance - though she uses a manic laugh to suggest that isn't totally a lady.
