The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd

Lee and Vic weren’t the only ones to love The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd… Here is what the QBD crew thought:

What if Jesus had a wife? Ana is a rebellious young woman raised in a wealthy family in Galilee, sheltered from the brutality of Rome’s occupation of Israel. Ana is expected to marry an elderly widower to further her father’s ambitions, a prospect that horrifies her. A chance encounter with the eighteen-year-old Jesus changes everything. A beautifully written, well-researched, and intriguing historical novel that reimagines the religious
and historical time of the Saviour with a feminist view.
