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.

Love story tellers who take real historic events and fill in the gaps with plausible possibility. And to write from the perspective of a “minor” character in a major circumstance. I enjoy being challenged to imagine beyond what is known to be true to what could have been. Very well written.
