A feminist retelling of a story of Lilith, the first woman written out of history

My last read of 2022 was a nonfiction book ‘When God Had a Wife: The Fall and Rise of the Sacred Feminine in the Judeo-Christian Tradition�. I absolutely loved it and to my delight it is quite clear that Nikki Marmery has an in depth knowledge of Divine Feminine and its suppression across the ages. ‘Lilith� is fiercely feminist, ferocious and audaciously heterodox. It is funny and poignant at the same time.

This novel unleashes a furious tornado, captivating readers with its fierce and utterly original narrative, making it the extraordinary, important book that many have been waiting for. With its rich, vividly written story, this book serves as a defiant and magnificent origin story for women, exquisitely blending wit and female rage in a daring, fresh, and playful manner. It poses a significant question: What would our culture resemble if women were not systematically excluded from historical narratives, and if the Goddess held an equally important place in people's hearts alongside the male God?

Nikki Marmery's exceptional book illuminates a forgotten yet crucial truth of existence, highlighting Lilith's clear and essential message that resonates now more than ever: A better world awaits, and it requires the courage to believe in it.
