Janice Eidus
And Her Novel of Romantic Vampires & All Kinds of Love
The Last Jewish Virgin |
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The Last Jewish Virgin
A Universal Tale of Longing and Redemption, A Refreshing Twist on the Vampire Myth
In this playful and provocative, sensual and suspenseful novel, Janice Eidus merges the timeless, romantic myth of the vampire with contemporary life in volatile New York City—and beyond. Unlike most current “Vamp Lit,” The Last Jewish Virgin will appeal to multiple generations as it explores faith and secularism, the complicated love between mothers and daughters, and the allure of “bad boys” to women of all ages.
The heroine is Lilith Zeremba, a vibrant young woman rebelling against her emotionally complex feminist mother. Lilith is determined to make her own way—on her own terms—in the world of fashion, but she unexpectedly finds herself in a place where mythology and sexuality collide. She meets two men to whom she is drawn in ways that feel dangerous and yet inevitable: the much older, wildly mercurial and mesmerizing Baron Rock, and Colin Abel, a young, radiant artist determined to make the world a better place, one socially progressive painting at a time. The Last Jewish Virgin,an innovative, humorous, and universal tale of longing and redemption, refreshes and reinvents the classic vampire myth for a contemporary world in which love, faith, and politics are forever intersecting and evolving.
Janice Eidus, author of The Last Jewish Virgin, for October, 2010 release by
