Lifetime Favorite

Thank you Simon Books for this gifted copy.

The House of Eve was one of my favorite books from last year and is also one of my lifetime favorite books! AND it is now AVAILABLE in paperback!!

This is one of those books that you just don’t even try to write a review for. I mean, how in the world do you write a review that can fully portray the depth, meaning, emotions, tribulations, and so much more in this absolutely must read novel!?! if you haven’t already picked up this meaningful story I highly encourage you to grab a copy and start reading now.

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: 1950s Philadelphia: fifteen-year-old Ruby Pearsall is on track to becoming the first in her family to attend college. But a taboo love affair threatens to pull her back down into the poverty and desperation that has been passed on to her like a birthright.

Eleanor Quarles arrives in Washington, DC, with ambition and secrets. When she meets the handsome William Pride at Howard University, they fall madly in love. But William hails from one of DC’s elite wealthy Black families, and his parents don’t let just anyone into their fold. Eleanor hopes that a baby will make her finally feel at home in William’s family and grant her the life she’s been searching for. But having a baby—and fitting in—is easier said than done.

With their stories colliding in the most unexpected of ways, Ruby and Eleanor will both make decisions that shape the trajectory of their lives.
