À propos de cet audio

 “An extraordinary novel . . . a triumph of insight and storytelling.” —Associated Press

“A true masterpiece.” —Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed

An extraordinary story set in the first century about a woman who finds her voice and her destiny, from the celebrated number one New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Life of Bees and The Invention of Wings

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 eighteen-year-old Jesus changes everything.

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. Ana's pent-up longings intensify amid the turbulent resistance to Rome's occupation of Israel, partially led by her brother, Judas. She is sustained by her fearless aunt Yaltha, who harbors a compelling secret. When Ana commits a brazen act that puts her in peril, she flees to Alexandria, where startling revelations and greater dangers unfold, and she finds refuge in unexpected surroundings. Ana determines her fate during a stunning convergence of events considered among the most impactful in human history.

Grounded in meticulous research and written with a reverential approach to Jesus's life that focuses on his humanity, The Book of Longings is an inspiring, unforgettable account of one woman's bold struggle to realize the passion and potential inside her, while living in a time, place and culture devised to silence her. It is a triumph of storytelling both timely and timeless, from a masterful writer at the height of her powers.

I loved this book! The story is very captivating. It starts out a bit slow but once you’re immersed in the story it’s hard to stop.
Personally I felt like narrator reads it tad bit too fast, I had to reduce the speed down to X0.9 or X0.8 sometimes. But the difference it makes! It adds way more depth and emotions to the narration and is easy to keep up with.
I will sure be keeping this book and re-listening it probably few more times.

Mesmerizing!!!

Sue Monk Kidd follows her heart as she brings to the page the character of Ana, the wife of Jesus. Ana allows us to feel the compassion of Jesus while struggling to be a women writer during a time when the voice of women was never heard. Upon reading this work of fiction, one feels the humanity in Jesus and the desperate attempt of women wanting their stories to be heard.

A beautiful journey with a woman during the time of Jesus.

I could not be considered to be religious and so I found this fictional story of Jesus as a man very interesting. I am also attracted to authors who have a way of describing people and events with insight and clarity. I found Sue Monk Kidd to be such an author so the story was not only interesting but also enjoyable!
The narrator did an excellent job!

interesting and well written

The Book of Longings inspired feelings of love, determination, anger and sorrow in me. My name is Sophia and I never knew what the name was and could be.

Oh how I cried

I really enjoyed this telling of Anna, the wife of Jesus. As a Christian person, I wasn't sure if I should read it, but I found it very inspiring. It gave a view of what the life of Jesus could have been during his 20's as he drew closer to his ministry.

Enjoyed

Sue Monk Kidd has blown me away with how beautifully she writes, her imagination, her attention to details and character development. I so appreciate the weight she placed on the strength of women and a good marriage. The nature of Jesus was captured perfectly. Thank you for this gift!

Incredible!!!!

Absolutely adored this book! It pays a hommage to all women, throughout history, but in a calm, peaceful and not necessarily angry way.
The story of Jesus's presumed wife is told intelligently, respectfully and most plausibly. Though deemed fictional, such a nuance of history is entirely possible, if not probable.
This book is written with utmost respect for history and in honour of all women whose voice has been silenced. I loved how it hooked you almost immediately, the descriptions of Egypt and Judea, the vivid detail and the beautiful language. So much emotion and depth in the book! Do yourself a favour and read it!
This book has just risen to the top 5 for me.

Incredible voice of women

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.

Compelling
