Description
In the Garden of Eden, at the beginning of time, an outrageous lie is born: that women are inferior. Lilith and Adam are equal and happy in the Garden of Eden. But when Adam decides Lilith should submit to his will and lie beneath him, she refuses - and is banished forever from Paradise.
Demonised and sidelined, Lilith watches in fury as God creates Eve, the woman who accepts her submission. But Lilith has a secret: she has already tasted the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Endowed with Wisdom, she knows why Asherah - God's wife and equal, the Queen of Heaven - is missing.
Lilith has a plan: she will rescue Eve, find Asherah, restore balance to the world and regain her rightful place in Paradise. Lilith is the heroine women have waited six thousand years for.
Nikki Marmery's exquisite prose brings this compelling, highly relevant tale of Adam's first wife to life. — Laura Shepperson
In a poetic voice, at once ancient and modern, Nikki Marmery's Lilith conjures a feminist counter-narrative. — Kathleen B. Jones
