What...Tosca, Thank you so much for sharing with us! What you are saying makes complete sense. I've heard it said that even now in our time, it is suppose to be normal for male children to love their Mothers first and then chose wives even that have similar qualities so having it in the story made sense and perhaps the uncomfortable feeling comes from understanding something that is so wrong now? <br /><br />Fabulous book! Thanks again!<br />JuliaThou Art Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321222645312105314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243450883627899676.post-5032704924923556142010-10-02T21:13:30.153-04:002010-10-02T21:13:30.153-04:00Hi, ladies. :) Got your Tweet--thanks for your que...Hi, ladies. :) Got your Tweet--thanks for your question and for inviting me to answer.<br /><br />For Havah and Adam, intimacy in the garden would have had no shame associated with it. I picture it as beautiful, pure, and free. But I assume that would have changed drastically after the fall. So that perfection has now been corrupted (along with everything else. :)<br /><br />So now we have a family fumbling around without benefit of role models, norms, social mores, or laws. In fact, Biblically speaking, we don't see laws about incest until after the time of Lot and his daughters. So this is a group that would have been more or less trying to find their way through it all--and making many (sometimes heinous) mistakes along the way.<br /><br />Hope that helps.Toscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161419032371572276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243450883627899676.post-25824500511180533762010-10-02T19:38:43.538-04:002010-10-02T19:38:43.538-04:00Tweet sent. :)Tweet sent. :)Joy Tamsin Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11559855237654982212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243450883627899676.post-82732593442546962812010-10-02T16:11:58.354-04:002010-10-02T16:11:58.354-04:00I'm so glad you picked this book Joy!

Don't forget to vote for October's pick in my sidebar.<br /><br />You're funny, but I agree with you- I'd like some things to stay taboo. <br /><br />If I get the nerve, I'll tweet the author and ask if there was a reason she put that element in the story. <br /><br />I wonder if there was a statement she was trying to make, like life gets messy when you disobey God.<br /><br />Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it. <br /><br />JoyJoy Tamsin Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11559855237654982212noreply@blogger.com
