The House of Eve is an unforgettable, pull-at-your-heartstrings story with two main characters that I simply adored. It had so much! Johnson masterfully addresses an array of topics (pregnancy, adoption, race, class, colorism and more) within the captivating narratives of Ruby and Eleanor, whose stories are ultimately about love, loss, sacrifice and resilience. I missed them the moment I finished the last page.

I do believe this is going to be the book all the book clubs will be talking about this year! What can I say? Sadequa can pen the stank out of a historical narrative 🤩 Go ahead and add it to your cart now especially if you like dual perspective narratives!
