Abstract

Eve, a renowned professor of environmental law, has achieved academic success and international recognition, yet feels an emptiness beneath her busy life. Soon after beginning therapy and discovering through meditation that the “self” is an illusion, she accepts an invitation to a seminar on environmental conflicts in the Amazonian jungle. There she meets Ené, a Waorani lawyer who invites her to her village—where the boundaries between both women blur, transforming Eve in ways she could have never anticipated.
