Entering a room with stainless-steel tables topped by corpses in body bags was initially unnerving. But once Montross met her cadaver, she found herself intrigued by the person the woman once was and fascinated by the strange, unsettling beauty of the human form. They called her Eve. The story of Montross and Eve is a tender and surprising examination of the mysteries of the human body, and a remarkable look at our relationship with both the living and the dead., In this hauntingly moving memoir of the relationship between a cadaver named Eve and the first-year medical student who cuts her open, Montross provides an uncommon perspective on the emotional difficulty a first year medical student can face., A agleaming, humanea ("The New York Times Book Review") memoir of the relationship between a cadaver named Eve and a first-year medical student Medical student Christine Montross felt nervous standing outside the anatomy lab on her first day of class.

Nice play on words with the title and its subject matter
My husband saw this book over a year ago, and was interested in the topic. Fifteen months later, we ordered it, and he is halfway through the book. Initially, he found the opening pages a struggle to get through, but once past them, he has found the book of great interest. He does not have a medical background, but the content is presented in such a way that a layman can understand and absorb the material.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
