Evesdropping
‘The hardest thing in life is having words in your heart that you cannot utter’
James Earl Jones
This is the story of Eve, a young woman born without a voice. Growing up in a world of enforced silence she has become overcurious regarding the conversations of others and likes to spend her days 'people-listening'. Her predilection for eavesdropping gives rise to strange and oftentimes hilarious results as Eve becomes privy to tantalising glimpses into the private lives of ordinary people.
The story that unfolds is both funny and tragic when, in a bizarre twist of the tale, Eve discovers that her knack for ‘people-listening’ has somehow evolved! She is shocked to find that she is now able to pluck the words from people’s heads before they are even spoken.
The power to read minds is a powerful weapon and one which dramatically alters the course of Eve's life. She experiences a thrilling sexual awakening as she falls in love for the first time and discovers that life can be messy and unpredictable when you step off the sidelines.
Eve also comes to realise that her psychic gift is a two edged sword as she becomes ensnared in the web of her own unwitting deceit. Her new romance comes to represent a ticking time bomb, as the secret she carries must surely come out, as all secrets do.
