Synopsis

First published in 1973, The Book of Eve has become a classic. When Eva Carroll walks out on her husband of 40 years, it is an unplanned, completely spontaneous gesture. Yet Eva feels neither guilt nor remorse. Instead, she feels rejuvenated and blissfully free. As she builds a new life for herself in a boarding house on the â wrongâ side of Montreal, she finds happiness and independence â and, when she least expects it, love.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
