The Eve Tree

A Treasure

In this story of a family, a ranch and a fire, Rachel Devenish Ford has created a mesmerising work of art. Hers is a unique style which combines detailed realism with lyrical fantasy, creating a world so powerful that it left me feeling elated. If you've ever struggled with your role as a mother, a daughter or a wife then this novel is your soft place to fall. Most importantly, if you have struggled with (in Devenish Ford's own words) "the dark, slippery places of the mind" then I urge you to rush to read this novel. It will bring you through the fire safely, and prove to you that the wildflowers can still bloom.

Loved this book!

I was so captured by this story, that I couldn't wait to find a few more minutes to keep reading.
The characters seemed so REAL to me, and the author's descriptions of the locations were detailed enough to make me believe I could see what she could.
I've always enjoyed reading the author's blog at various points in my own adventure, and her way with words in this amazing novel are just as beautiful as I expected!
