About
Three reincarnations of one love story, Constellations of Eve chronicles the transmigration of souls. Each reality allows Eve, an artist and mother crippled by fears of being, abandoned by those she loves, another chance at fulfillment-but can she get it right? Is there even such a thing as "right"? Can she be a good enough artist, mother, wife, and friend this time around? Can she ward off the loss of her loved ones, the very thing she fears the most? How many lifetimes will it take?
Informed by Rosewood's own upbringing and education in Eastern philosophy and beliefs, Constellations of Eve was born from the author's hope that love could transcend death, giving her parents the chance to meet again in another life. Rosewood's preoccupation with the myriad ways life could turn out stems from the loss of her father, who passed away in a car accident at the age of thirty. When, as a child, Rosewood, asked her mother if she would be, willing to give up everything in this life to resurrect her father, the answer was a resolute yes, even though that "everything" perhaps included Rosewood herself. This novel is Rosewood's attempt to untangle her mother's deeply human impulse and to understand why love, once tasted, makes all alternatives unbearable.
An intensely intimate portrait of one woman's battles against her own destructive impulses in love, her unrelenting obsession with her art, and the envy that poisons her most treasured friendship.
