The House of Eve

Absolutely amazing. The writer is so good with words and with each chapter about one of the character it was easy to follow. Loved it and absolutely loved the author explanations at the end, telling us how she came up with the story and how she researched for it.Quick delivery as well !

I cound t put it down, really good reading

One of my favourite books I’ve read this year. After reading this, I’m now buying this author’s other books. Great historical fiction with ties back to true stories. Couldn’t put it down.

Over all good story. I was taken aback that Eleanor’s character was written with the want and need to go to such extents to please her husband and his family. I suppose because the story takes place in 1948, women’s views on independence weren’t as they are now in 2023. Greta‘s character was disappointing and shameful. It would’ve been nice to dive deeper into the mother, daughter, relationship of Ruby and Inez. I’m also a little disappointed that Eleanor hid her secret from her own mother.

This book is so well written! I'm so in love with the characters. Even the villains were well developed. It's such an emotional journey without being exhausting. It was so sweet and each story captures all of your feelings and shakes them up as you read what happens next. Sadeqa Johnson has a brilliant imagination and I loved the ride! I enjoyed seeing the little Easter eggs from "The Yellow Wife" and I smiled to myself. I swooned each and every time William appeared, even his back made me melt. It's such a nice break from work, holiday rush and life stresses. I think the ending is perfect and rather than a continuance, I like the style of more of her work with a few peeks into the characters here and there. I get that other readers want a book two but I think the longing is a great place to stop and show up via new characters and stories from the mind of this awesome writer.I'm hesitant to read another book and ruin the lovely (William's favorite adjective) taste of this read on my brain.
