The Judgment of Eve by Edgar Pangborn
It's after the Holocaust when the almost-barren world has reverted to animal primitivism & the law of the hunter is the only recognized order. One May night three men accidentally converge at a desolate farm where blind Alma Newman & her daughter, Eve, eke out a bare, defenseless existence. The men—thoughtful, crippled Claudius; Ethan of imperfect simplicity; Kenneth with a touch of ham—fall in love with Eve. In spite of her innocence, the girl has the sure instincts of another Eve & before deciding on which of the men she wants she sends them out into the world again to test them, to have them bring back answers to her questions: What is courage? Honesty? Maturity? Laughter? Love?
The Judgment of Eve is a tale of fantasy. It's also a romance, an adventure story, a quest, a passionate search by three men for answers which, as the wisest will know, lie within Eve herself.—from the Simon & Schuster 1st edition
