The story is set in two imaginary towns in Nagaland, North East India; Ivy hill, a small sleepy town and Timberland, a blooming commercial town. The story revolves around the nucleus of the society that is family. In a way, it explores all the different kinds of love that shape the lives of all the people in Eve’s story. It begins with a prologue, where Eve the protagonist of the novel gets herself all set for the competition, ‘My Winning Story Competition’
. She unfolds the story spinning back to her decades of memories. The story unfolds a merry go round of emotions; revolving in the whole cycle of life- birth, childhood, youth, adult hood, love, heartbreaks, marriage, hardship, success, failure and dead. The author has brilliantly described these emotions and has been successful in associating the novel with every reader’s life in some or the other way. She takes her audience for an adventure of hope, second chance, trust, her Christian faith and everlasting love, making the listeners realize that there is but no greater story than one’s life itself. We look for spices and inspiration from the life of others but often remain ignorant about the significant essence of survival hidden in our own story. The author makes the reader’s realize that the greatest of all stories is the one that lies within us. She has splendidly expressed the beauty of Nagaland and has taken the reader’s for a trip to this often unexplored land of ecstatic pleasures.
