I read this for book club, so naturally I did not read the description before I started it. But after about 10 pages I was very confused and had to go read the description. This book is set in the times of Jesus roaming the earth and is from the POV of his wife, Ana. 

Much to my surprise, I loved this book! The writing is beeeeautiful. And the story just flows so well. I have never read a book set in a time period this far back, so this was really interesting. The story is such a unique take on the well-known story of Jesus. 

Someone at our book club discussion said that this is a girl’s story, and I couldn’t agree more. This book takes a time where women were very much erased from history, and focuses on the strengths and lives of some very strong women. 

I never would have guessed I enjoyed a book about Jesus’s wife, but I did!!
