A review by reegankay
The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd
5.0
"If Jesus did have a wife, I knew she would be the most silenced woman in history, and the one most in need of a voice. I tried to give her that voice''
This book was absolutely stunning. Told from the perspective of a fictionalised wife of Jesus, it seeks to highlight the pain, struggles and desires of women forgotten by history. I would recommend this to anyone interested in the erasure of women's voices throughout literary and historical canon.
