Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of Eve: A Novel by B.K. O’Connor. This compelling novel is published by Histria Fiction, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding original works of fiction.
Long before she was a cautionary tale, Eve was a woman who dared to think. Cast out of Eden and burdened by motherhood, exile, and a divine curse to submit, she refuses to be defined by the world’s expectations of her.
As ancient civilizations rise around them, Adam finds comfort in settlement and dominion — while Eve watches the world take shape and asks the question no one wants her to ask: Why must women follow? Leaving behind all she loves, she embarks on a solitary quest across deserts, ancient cities, and open seas — to seek knowledge, defy her god-given curse, and carve out a freer world for the women who will follow.
Lyrical and fiercely feminist, Eve reclaims the first woman as the hero she always was.
Praise for Eve: A Novel:
“Eve is a lush, resonant novel that reimagines Eve’s wandering quest for the answers of existence.” – Foreword Reviews
“Lucidly rendered from the first woman’s point of view, Eve manages to be essentially faithful to scripture and yet boldly original. As we should have seen all along, Eve is the hero of the story, and if God’s ways to men are to be justified, it can only be through her unique creative power.” – John Rumrich, author of Matter of Glory and Milton Unbound
