So, in a way, this is a novel of ideas that questions certainties and opens up unexpected dialogues by putting young women-both believers and non-believers-at the centre. In fact, it is people who are “absolutely certain of their truths” and have a “simple” answer that have caused this world lots of harm, in my opinion. If we could only celebrate confusion and complexity, things would have been very different. I like to question my own truths constantly. These are issues that I also care about, and think about, and perhaps, in many ways, I am also “confused”, which I believe is not necessarily a bad thing. My novel focuses primarily on the story of The Confused and the confusions of our times-about faith, identity, sexuality, the state of the world, the role of the individual. They call themselves, The Sinner, The Believer and The Confused. Where did the idea come from, and how much did it change as you wrote?Īt the heart of this story there are three young women. Tell us about the process behind writing Three Daughters of Eve.
