Coles Eve's Diary: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
This witty, whimsical retelling of the first days of existence follows Eve as she awakens with a natural-born observer's eye, treating creation as both experiment and artwork. She delights in the moon, stars, and landscape, only to find beauty tangled with frustration as she tries to gather stars, grows weary and lost, and discovers unexpected comfort among tigers. As she learns distance, danger, and desire, even inventing a proverb about thorns, her impulsive curiosity leads her to a strange, shy "reptile" she gradually recognizes as a man. What begins as comic pursuit and retreat becomes a tentative partnership shaped by speech, companionship, and self-discovery. Eve proudly assumes the role of talker, guide, and socializer, and her gift for naming creatures reveals both her confidence and her keen perception. She briefly wins admiration for naming the dodo, but the tone deepens when the man avoids her and then rejects her attempt at reconciliation. Eve's first heartbreak transforms the story's playful wonder into a tender, painful portrait of loneliness, attachment, and the making of human relationships. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
