Again, I am stunned. ‘Yellow Wife’ made me a fan but ‘The House of Eve’ has made me a Stan 😩. This story was beautiful, but heartbreaking. I felt for Eleanor but Ruby, I wanted to embrace her in a way her mother couldn’t.
This has been my best read so far this year. Can’t wait for what Mrs.Johnson has in store for us next…

I also loved the fact there is a very small (but not insignificant) tie-in to characters from her book Yellow Wife.
The author's note at the end is definitely worth the read. She describes where the fictional characters of the book came from as well as background on the real life characters. Fascinating info.
