Before by Carmen Boullosa
A lyrical, imaginative retelling of the first woman’s life in Eden that gives voice to her thoughts, desires and creative power before the Fall; told in a sensual, questioning tone, the narrative follows her relationships with animals, the nascent human companion and the divine, her discoveries of language, sexuality and motherhood, and her restless refusal to accept simple definitions of sin and obedience as she shapes a female consciousness and origin story.
