"Eve: A Novel" by S. Baring-Gould

Sabine Baring-Gould of Lew Trenchard in Devon, England, was an Anglican priest, hagiographer, antiquarian, novelist, folk song collector, and eclectic. In this book, his varied interests are on full display as he tells the story of Eve, a young heroine who finds herself set apart from other women in her life. When she finds herself caught up in intrigues, violence, concealed identities, and even murder, her particular charm is just what saves her from being overwhelmed.
