    Poor writing ruins plot
    I did not care for this book. i found the writing to be insipid...the characters' voices (Eva and her daughters, Naava, Dara and Aya) all seemed the same. I did not find that they were truthful to the time or the atmosphere. i found myself thinking, are they really saying these things and in this way? I didn't care for any of the characters, save Aya, and I couldn't bring myself to care about them. I am so disappointed in Eve, I had hoped it would be similar to The Red Tent but it was just so poorly written that I couldn't get past it to enjoy the plotlines. I really wanted to give it 2 stars and I wish there were a designation between poor and average. it just didn't work for me, on any level.
