Inhalt:
Into this bold reimagining of history steps Ana, a rebellious, ambitious, gifted young woman who secretly writes the stories of silenced women and longs to bring forth the largeness inside her. She is raised in a wealthy family with ties to the ruler of Galilee and is expected to marry a rich, older widower. An encounter with eighteen-year-old Jesus changes everything.
Their marriage unfolds in Nazareth, where Ana makes a home with Jesus and his family. As her pent-up longings intensify, she is sustained by her fearless Aunt Yaltha, who harbors a compelling secret. But when Ana commits a brazen act that puts her in peril, she flees to Alexandria, where startling revelations and greater dangers unfold.
Grounded in meticulous research, "The Book of Longings" is an unforgettable account of one woman's fierce struggle to realize her passion and potential. It is a novel of astonishing emotional power and beauty from a writer at the height of her acclaimed narrative gifts.
