On reading the synopsis and learning that this is a fictional account of a wife of Jesus, one assumes that it is rather audacious. However, the book is a very sensitive treatment of Jesus and deals with a woman's voice from the first century. Ana, the fictitious wife of Jesus has longings like any woman but she finds a way to voice these longings - through her writings. Like any woman of her century she is snubbed and silenced but she fleas Nazareth and finds a home in Alexandria where she is able to write independently. It is amazing what she achieved in her day and age and some of this is relevant today too and Sue Monk Kidd has done women a great service by voicing these longings. This book needs to be widely read.
