About this listen

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.

Wonderful, timeless

A wonderful telling of Lilith and her travails as she was cast out of Eden. Told in her own words, it kindles a spark of the feminine divine in us.

I know it is fiction but……

I feel like if this was the story I was told as a child it would have been more believable! I feel like I ate the forbidden fruit after reading this! Eye opening

Becomes repetitive eventually

A story that posits a goddess counterpart to Yaweh in the Garden of Eden, whose insights are banished with Adam and Eve. How her daughter tries to respark the values of equality for women and care for all creation (versus subjugation and violence of the male god), finding herself in the midst of various Biblical stories and beyond as her efforts succeed and fail, is tracked down the millenia.

I found the premise and early story interesting, but at some point the repetition of the goddess’s values in each situation (and how the shortsighted men ignored them) overwhelmed what passed for a plot. I could only take the last quarter in short bursts as a result. Can’t really say what it was supposed to leave me with.

Powerful and thought provoking

A beautiful tail of the life of Lilith, the betrayal she suffered at the hands of a patriarchal god and her quest to usher humanity into a better way of being. I wish I could gift this book to every woman in the world.

Loved this take on Lilith story! It was fast read, the only thing is the ending was a little abrupt

Heartbroken it's Over

I wanted this book to last forever. The story stirred something deep in my soul, and awakened a Truth. If I could, I would have this be mandatory reading. the wiring is sumptuous, and so elegant, like a balm. The narrator couldn't be more perfect with her portrayal of emotion. Put this book on your "To Read" list, then move it right to the top. It's truly one of the best books I've read this decade.
