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. An encounter with the eighteen-year-old Jesus changes everything: he becomes not only a floodgate for her intellect, but also the awakener of her heart. Ana is expected to marry an elderly widower, a prospect that horrifies her. She engages in furtive scholarly pursuits and writes narratives about neglected and silenced women. Raised in a wealthy family with ties to the ruler of Galilee, she is rebellious and ambitious, a relentless seeker with a brilliant mind and a daring spirit. 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. In conversation with GPB’s Virginia Prescott.
