Comfort Me With Apples
A new look at Adam and Eve, from the perspective of Sophie, a woman directly before Eve.
Sophie realizes that something is amiss in her home. A finger bone, a brush that she can’t recall with hair that isn’t hers leads her to question her husband and her role in the house. Sophie seeks answers, and discovers disillusionment.
Valente pokes into our society’s desire to treat men as children that can’t accept blame, and women that exist solely for men’s pleasure through her retelling.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and recommend it!
