In this unforgettable and "essential feminist memoir of women's
lives" (Sarah Wildman, author of Paper Love) the author of the New
York Times bestselling memoir Perfection unearths her mother's
hidden past in in Nazi-occupied Austria. To Julie Metz, her mother,
Eve, was the quintessential New Yorker. Eve rarely spoke about her
childhood and it was difficult to imagine her living anywhere else
except Manhattan, where she could be found attending Carnegie Hall
and the Metropolitan Opera or inspecting a round of French triple
creme at Zabar's. After her mother passed, Julie discovered a
keepsake book filled with farewell notes from friends and relatives
addressed to a ten-year-old girl named Eva. This long-hidden
memento was the first clue to the secret pain that Julie's mother
had carried as a refugee and immigrant from Nazi-occupied Vienna,
shining a light on "a story of political repression, terror, and
dissolution...full of astonishing and unlikely twists of fate
showing again that individual destiny may be the greatest mystery
of all" (Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance). "A gripping and
intimate wartime account with piercing contemporary relevance"
(Kirkus Reviews), Eva and Eve lyrically traces one woman's search
for her mother's lost childhood while revealing the resilience of
our forebears and the sacrifices that ordinary people are called to
make during history's darkest hours.
