One of the world's oldest stories becomes new again.
When the book opens Eve, who is the narrator, is just coming into consciousness. She has been given by God to the Serpent to raise. Her senses of wonder as the Serpent introduces her to life in Paradise is a strength of the book; she learns about nature, love and the way that the new and fascinating world works. When she comes into contact with God -- who rears Adam -- she is wary of his dominance and egotism. One day, becoming impatient to discover whether or not he's designed the male and female to procreate property, God rushes Adam and Eve into intercourse. The Serpent alone recognises the consequences of God's act. 'Until today Eve has felt... that the world was good... 'but' Adam as good as raped her'. Eve is devastated by the experience.
