No pude dejar de leerlo -- I can't put it down.
Es una maravilla. Está lleno de sabiduría. Hermosas descripciones. Precisión histórica. Maravillosamente imaginado. No pude dejar de leerlo.

So interesting and different perspective
You don't have to be religious to read and enjoy this book. When I got to the end and read the author's note, I learned the book was actually made to show a life where "Jesus Christ" had a wife - a female figure that would have normally been silenced at that time. So really interesting to learn more about women at the time, traditions, relationships and a nice twist between what is "known" from Jesus' story and a made up (potential and probable) story that blends so well.

UNA HISTORIA ÚNICA
Con su narrativa y su investigación minuciosa, Sue Monk Kidd me transportó a esa época, a esa historia. El libro de los anhelos es un libro en donde los personajes son mujeres poderosas, mujeres adelantadas a si tiempo, mujeres sabias. ¡No podía parar de leer!
