![]() ![]() Their marriage evolves with love and conflict, humor and pathos in Nazareth, where Ana makes a home with Jesus, his brothers, and their mother, Mary. An encounter with eighteen-year-old Jesus changes everything. Ana is expected to marry an older widower, a prospect that horrifies her. She engages in furtive scholarly pursuits and writes narratives about neglected and silenced women. 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. 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. This story is so well-researched and you can tell she put much thought and care in every word that she wrote. This was actually my first novel I’ve read from Sue Monk Kidd but definitely won’t be my last! I really loved her writing. ![]()
