![]() ![]() The Book of Longings is well named, well inspired, and well imagined-a superlative effort from a writer at the top of her game. So artfully does Kidd involve the reader with the vibrance and passion of Ana, of the hazard she experiences in a man’s world, of her determined persona and her love for Jesus - that by the time she reunites with her beloved after a long absence.there is little to buffer feelings of loss and tragedy and sorrow. Anyone who reads this novel will feel the impending doom inherent in this historic tale. he sense of longing that she creates between these two souls as they endure many forced separations bears testament to the novel’s title and makes for an emotional journey. She does her homework many times over in all directions, digging for and finding many details that paint a vivid picture not only of Jesus the man, but the interwoven intricacies of the natural, political and religious world surrounding Jesus prior to his ministry. ![]() novelist Sue Monk Kidd takes on this high concept challenge and gives it her best. ![]()
