Why read it?
1 author picked Three Daughters of Eve as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The individual conflicts described in this book stem from the reality of relationships that are supposed to be in a certain way, but somehow get twisted into something different, rather forbidden, or at least with blurred boundaries. I love the interweaving of spirituality, cultural diversity, and the parallel timelines, past and present. The characters are complex and represent different value systems.

From Iulia's list on relationships that define us across time.
