This book is not one for those who like a tidy ending. It leaves room for thinking and consideration and left me feeling I wasn’t quite smart enough too grasp the depth of the discussion of God that it’s constructed around.

Peri, a woman with a stable, upper-class life, is over-jumped by an robbery. She is a caring mother, but once upon a time she was a student in Oxford, England. When an old Polaroid snapshot falls out of her expensive handbag during the mugging, all the memories of that time [and of two friendships long gone] come flooding back to her.
This is a slow-paced book, full of rich and realistic descriptions, with which we embark on an exploration of faith, religion and finding our own path.
Three Daughters of Eve is a very philosophical book. I found it interesting to soak in these new perspectives and to meet a character like Peri.
Unfortunately, when I picked up this book, I got carried away with the idea that the friend group would be more important. The title of the book gave me the idea that this story would revolve around them, and their ups and downs, but more than that, we were given an introspection of Peri's life. I don't mention it as a complaint, I loved getting to know her story, but I was expecting more of her friends.
I really recommend this book.

the book was hard to get into at the beginning, the writing style is a stylistic choice that i don't really enjoy (says one sentence for the plot, next paragraph is some side tangent fact and then goes back to the plot), but then i got used to it and i enjoyed the story. was super intrigued about the scandal mentioned in the blurb. so the middle part was great and then the ending... very underwhelming and not at all what i expected. i didn't like how it ended at all. the reader was given expectations and they were definitely not met.
