Daughter of Eden is a retelling of the biblical Eve’s life. While a lot of us know the basic stories, Jill Eileen Smith dives into what Eve’s emotions and thoughts might have been. She goes more in depth of how life might have been outside of the garden.
It’s honestly a little hard to read about Adam and Eve having to learn about earth for the first time. It was hard to wrap my head around adults having to learn about something as basic as fire. That was a completely new perspective for me. This book is filled with moments like that.
I think sometimes we glaze over Bible reading without taking time to think what it actually might have been like. This book is an amazing tool to allow you to better understand a piece of scripture. It’s also a pretty great story.
While I did find it difficult to read a story I already knew all the major plot twists too, there were some points from the author’s imagination that I did enjoy. It was interesting to compare what I imagined of the life of Eve to someone else’s perspective.
I highly recommend this book. It may just help you see Eve in a whole new way.
I received this book for free from the Revell Blogging Program in exchange for this honest review.
