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 “wrong” side of Montreal, she finds happiness and independence – and, when she least expects it, love.

“A delight.”
– Globe and Mail
“The success of the much-loved novels of Beresford-Howe stems from their approachability.… Her writing is consistently down-to-earth and highly readable.”
– Quill & Quire
Constance Beresford-Howe was born in Montreal. Her first novel, The Unreasoning Heart, was published while she was still a student. Since then, she has written eight others, including A Population of One, The Marriage Bed, Prospero’s Daughter, and Night Studies. She now divides her time between Canada and England.
