I’m in awe of how beautifully this story was written from the point of view of Jesus’s fictional wife. I don’t normally like books that depict Jesus as anything less than God but the author captured the essence of Jesus so wonderfully as a human, it’s hard not to love this book.
Reading this book was like reading poetry - each word, character, and story seemed to have meaning. I loved how the author tried to keep the story historically accurate while also adding in her own creative thoughts of how Jesus may have lived if he were married. And although Jesus, who is such an important historical figure, is depicted in this book, the story is not about him. It’s about his wife and I really enjoyed reading this book from her female perspective. It was riveting, emotional, encouraging, and powerful. 5 stars!

Ballsy for an author to write this. I enjoyed it.

Truly inspired by the powerful reimagining of what could have been a part of Jesus‘s life.

I found this book very triggering of my Catholic upbringing. I enjoyed having my perspective challenged, and having to think about Jesus as a human being. The book is well written, and I thought it an interesting insight into he political landscape of Roman occupied Middle East.
That being said, Ana is rather one dimensional. She has little to no flaws, and while she suffers from many tragedies, I can’t help but feel she changes much because of them.
