Sadeqa Johnson, THE HOUSE OF EVE

Zibby Owens interviews award-winning author Sadeqa Jones about her latest novel, The House of Eve, which is Reese's February Book Club pick! This daring and heartrending book is set in the 1950s and follows two Black women in Philadelphia and Washington, DC as they navigate motherhood, ambition, forbidden love, and life-altering decisions. Sadeqa reveals that this story is inspired by her own family history, and shares how much she enjoyed exploring race, class, elitism, and the fate of young Black women in mid-20th century America. She also talks about the taboo love story that Zibby loved (matzah ball soup involved!), her next historical fiction project, and the incredible book tour she is about to embark on.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3HL33XJSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.** If you enjoy recommending things you love and even earning from it, you have to become a creator on ShopMy!
