La historia comienza como nace Eva Luna, protagonista de la historia. Su madre Consuelo, quién era pelirroja, fue rescatada por unos indios y a los doce años la enviaron a la ciudad, al convento de “las hermanitas de la caridad”. Luego fue a servir a casa de un médico, el profesor Jones, quien dedicaba su tiempo a embalsamar cadáveres. Aquí conoce a un jardinero indio que acaba siendo envenenado por una serpiente, ella se encarga de curarlo de forma un tanto carnal (manteniendo relaciones sexuales con él). De estas relaciones, acaba naciendo Eva Luna, en una habitación de la mansión donde trabajaba Consuelo, que es ayudada en el parto por otra sirvienta, que más tarde es consagrada como la madrina de Eva. Consuelo deja huérfana a Eva a temprana edad, su muerte fue causada por haberse tragado un hueso de pollo, desde ese momento su madrina se encarga de ella.
