From the Back Cover:
Synopsis:
In the midst of wild and rocky Cornwall, two little girls listen entranced to Grandmother Dummer as she tells them the Story of Woman. They learn of Adam and Eve, of a pampered and cosseted existence in the Garden of Eden, of a luxurious world devoid of hardship, worry or care. Perfection is a vacuum – nature abhors a vacuum – so one day Adam and Eve find themselves evicted from Paradise and left to face a harsh and hostile world.
We follow Eve as she travels along a tortuous winding path, donning her different disguises as she goes: the Other Woman, the Whore, the Madonna, the Courtesan, the Bluestocking and the Witch. Thus the history of Woman begins: not the dry stuff of bible, myth and fable, but the sensual, sexual, earth-moving story of Eve.
'An exotic, witty and bizarre extravaganza, it is a feminist morality tale that will make big girls shiver'
COSMOPOLITAN
'A humorous and often cuttingly cynical version of women's history. Tennant's prose is fluid and easy but with a sardonic edge which gives the apparently cosy, chatty storytelling a sharp, ironic bite'
TIME OUT
'Entertaining, exhilarating...but underneath there is a bedrock of good sense about the role of woman not only in the past but also in the future'
SPECTATOR
By the author of "The Colour of Rain" and "The Last of the Country House Murders", this book is a blend of fantasy and reality, a modern fairy-tale, retelling the age-old story of Woman and her eternal quest for what might be the grail.
