In her mesmerizing fourth work of fiction, Sue Monk Kidd takes an audacious approach to history and brings her acclaimed narrative gifts to imagine the story of a young woman named Ana. Raised in a wealthy family with ties to the ruler of Galilee, she is rebellious and ambitious, with a brilliant mind and a daring spirit. She engages in furtive scholarly pursuits and writes narratives about neglected and silenced women. Ana is expected to marry an older widower, a prospect that horrifies her. An encounter with 18-year-old Jesus changes everything.

Beautiful Story
Revisado: 05-19-20
I found this a beautiful story, but I left off a star because I kept thinking of the book by Elizabeth Cunningham, The Passion of Mary Magdalen, and how it made this book feel flatter and unfleshed out. Had I not read that series (yes, four books in the series) before, I probably would have loved this story much more, However, there were moments in Cunningham's book that were so poignant between Mary Magdalen and Jesus, and some of Mary's realizations that made me chuck the book across the room, it was so powerful. I didn't have any book chucking in Book of Longings, although, I had a lot of chills, and alot of cheering on Anna and her dedication to her inner truth and her calling to write. I actually adore and admire so much Sue Monk Kidd as an author, and loved her take on this subject. But I have to tell others not to miss The Passion of Mary Magdalen, which should be on the same shelf with this one, if you like this subject matter, and want a feminist story that will blow you away (or have you planting roots). Read this one first though, so, it gets the attribute of beauty it deserves, and then be ready for a much more visceral, rough and tumble time with fiery red head, celtic Mary Magdalen, aka Maeve and her time with Jesus.
