The Eves

The Eves is a multi-generational novel portraying lives lived well and lives in transition. Filled with poignancy and humor The Eves captures the conversations we wish we had had with our parents if we had taken the opportunity and the lessons we would want to impart to our children if they were ready to listen. Told through the voice of the psychologically complex Jessica Barnet this is her story. As the primary witness in a messy trial she has been torn from the foundation of her existence-her connection to her children. With a partially finished doctoral degree and incomplete renovations on her Washington DC row house she has let go of her ambitions and her appearance but not her vodka or her sense of loss and guilt. When Jessica meets five diverse determined and sometimes ditzy old women living in a sustainable community everything and everybody changes. Through plot twists and turns that cover three continents we learn the truth of Jessicas life and lies just as we fall in love with the vividly drawn characters and the vibrantly described settings.
