A missing sister, a fire bomb, a talking serpent — drama meets whimsy as four women seek to discover their places in the world. After one son murders the other, Biblical Eve struggles for a reason to wake up in the morning. Centuries later, Eve Markovich grapples with finding her voice as she spirals through the demands of life, from single parenting to battling a multinational corporation. Her friend Solloway McKay tries to make peace with her conflicted heritage as she searches for someone who may not exist. Eve’s great-granddaughter Evie Marten embraces adventure to vanquish family secrets and self doubts, and, through the power of storytelling, gathers the threads that connect each woman to the others through time and space. With touches of magic realism and humour, Elemental Eve is a compelling exploration of contemporary themes.
