Through alternating diary entries, Mark Twain humorously, ironically, and tenderly narrates the birth of the first relationship in the history of humanity. Adam, solitary and practical, is puzzled by the talkative, enthusiastic, and curious Eve. She sees the world as a miracle, he simply tries to understand it. However, over time, despite their differences, a deep love is born between them. When the Fall comes, Adam acknowledges: "Wherever she was, there was my Paradise." A thoughtful, bittersweet portrayal of the eternal relationship between the sexes.
