Synopsis

Years ago, frightened by passion, Eve settled for less: marrying safely, building a solid, ordinary life. Now she longs for more.

One day, treasure hunting for a friend’s antiques shop, she finds a mysterious instrument, carved with twining vines. It sends her on a quest—and into a compelling connection with a young man, the son of an old flame. He is twenty years younger than she is, a musician, a seeker, a bohemian—and, to her amazement, he’s pursuing her.

Can this euphoric connection last? Eve finds herself defenseless against the force of her fantasies. But she cannot retreat back to safety; she is no longer the woman she was. And even now, she can hardly imagine the woman she will become.

Say My Name is more than a love story. It is the story of a woman finding herself through a lover’s eyes, and discovering a strength and independence she never knew she had. On this journey of self-empowerment, Eve will jettison shame and propriety, following only the call of her spirit and the promise of a new, unconventional life. Say My Name is a clarion call to adventures of the heart, and a whisper into every woman’s ear: hear the music! It was written for you.

Goodreads review by Marsha on January 29, 2018

While on the surface this is yet another tale of a woman freeing herself through adultery, the story of Eve’s dissatisfaction with her life has a lyrical rhythm all its own. Her love of plants and her burgeoning reawakening to the beauty of life around her are mixed up with a growing sense that she’......more

Goodreads review by Jami on February 11, 2018

I hoped this book might have a bit of grit considering the subject matter, unfortunately it was very boho-ethereal. I don’t even know if that is a thing, but that is very much how the writing and plot came across. Does a 48 year old woman need a 28 year old man to show her how to reclaim her identit......more
