It was well written, and the character development was master level. I enjoyed the author's interpretations of biblical history and loved how she weaved Lilith throughout. I can't recommend this book enough. I look forward to reading more from this author. ( ) JanaRose1 | Jan 22, 2024 | Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. ) scriveling | Nov 19, 2023 | Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Lilith is a feminist retelling, beginning with the creation myth, of Lilith, the first woman, and original wife of Adam. The story continues through various key points in (largely Biblical) history to the modern age. This is subject matter that should interest me, and I did enjoy the story, but it was slow going for me until the last third or so. I did particularly like the sections on Jezebel and Mary Magdalene. I'd recommend this for people with with a strong interest in feminist history, gender relations, and religious history. Three and a half stars (  ) Christiana5 | Nov 5, 2023 | Lilith is portrayed here as a strong and independent character who defies traditional gender roles. I appreciated the plot's originality and the way it challenges the conventional narrative of Lilith as a demon or antagonist. While Lilith is a well-developed character, some secondary characters needed more work. The pace tended to lag in the middle of the story. I struggled to maintain interest at times. I think this book would appeal to readers who enjoy feminist retellings of mythological stories. I did have mixed feelings about the book and realize that it may not be for everyone.

Before Eve, there was Lilith. Lilith and Adam are equal and happy in the Garden of Eden. Until Adam decides Lilith should submit to his will and lie beneath him. She refuses-and is banished forever from Paradise. Demonized 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's quest for justice drives her throughout history, from the ziggurats of Ancient Sumer, to the court of Israel's Queen Jezebel, and to the side of a radical preacher in Roman Judea. Noah's wife, Norea, Jezebel and Mary Magdalene all play their part in Lilith's enlightenment. In the modern age, as she observes the catastrophic consequences of a world built on inequality, Lilith finally understands what must be done to correct the wrong done to women-and all humankind-at the beginning of time.
