The House of Eve

 

The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This historical fiction novel powerfully illustrates what it would have been like to be black (or Negro as they preferred then) and the deplorable way unwed pregnant girls were treated (regardless of how they got that way.) It has haunted me since finishing the book. The story was well written and gave voice to both of the protagonists of the story. The story is moving and thought-provoking, but sad.
