I received this ARC from Netgalley (thank you very much!) in exchange for an honest review! "There was a line [Maryam] returned to again and again, that sang like a chorus throughout: I am the woman crying out, cast upon the face of the earth. It moved me to silent tears every time. For it was me [Lilith]. I was that woman. I had cried out for what I had lost. I was cast aside. I walked the face of the earth for millennia. This was, as she put it, her life’s work. For me, it was so much more than that. It was everything I had striven for. The overturning of all that had happened in Eden so long ago, when female divinity and Wisdom were banished, so too all balance and harmony, and a new and horrifying creed was born: of male supremacy; hierarchy, domination of women and the earth; judgment and control. It was the correction and repudiation of Adam’s course, sanctioned by his god. This was the work of countless lifetimes." "All others were paired male with female, two by two. I completed myself. I didn’t need to produce new life. Instead, I carried an idea." Absolutely brilliant, this resolved my religious trauma originating from having grown up a woman in a relatively catholic environment. Reminds me a lot of Circe and Madeline Millers writing in general. I will recommend this to everyone I ever meet.
