This was actually an easy choice for me. Honestly, this one stuck with me for days after I finished.

I greatly enjoyed the inclusion of The Thunder, Perfect Mind in this story. It seemed fitting and it worked beautifully. I appreciated the use of CE (current era) as opposed to AD. It makes sense for the story, but it is also in accordance with academic parlance and gives the book more weight, a more solid foundation. I liked the use of the Jewish months as opposed to our current months.

GingerAntics Again, this is fitting as they would have been what Ana and everyone around her would have used. I wish Ana‘s promise that every single act of his love would not be squandered, but in the ensuing 2000+ years they have not only been squandered but defiled again and again. Then, as now, love is revolutionary; and love is terrifying to those who cannot fathom it. Beautiful, wonderful story. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 2mo
GingerAntics Well worth the time and energy, Christian or not. A valuable reminder in this current time in America that the voices of women can be silenced for only so long, and we will always find a way to pass our stories on to the future. This book certainly doesn‘t do Judas any favours. #SueMonkKidd #TheBookOfLongings #Audiobook (edited) 2mo
GingerAntics Also, I have a red parachord bracelet from TKD that I wear (it kind of looks like a TKD belt around my wrist) that felt special to this book as well. I liked that little link Ana had to him that whole time, that she carried with her always. 2mo

This was a beautiful and - no doubt - comforting sentiment. Sadly, it has not come to pass. For Ana, yes. After that, not only have all his acts of love been squandered, they have been outright defiled and continue to be so. The current climate of the USA is testament to this defilement.

I‘m sitting here, enjoying this book… and now some server problem is preventing me from continuing… mid conversation about how much of a “devil” her creepy old man betrothed is. EXCUSE ME, I NEED TO KNOW THIS NOW!!!

GingerAntics @DrSabrinaMoldenReads I‘m not Christian, but I still LOVED it. Highly recommend. 2mo
GingerAntics @Scochrane26 I can absolutely see why! This is like the new Red Tent. It captured me in the same way. 2mo

My 3rd book by Sue Monk Kidd this year, and I think this book is the weakest so far.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh my goodness. This book. Is so amazing. A wonderful story about mothers and daughters and love. Side note: can I just say that I would LOVE to have a human like August Boatwright in my life? Because I definitely would.

3rd time is the charm! I started this 3 times before finding my groove. Hands down one of the best books I've read. Wonderful coming of age piece during a turbulent time in the South. Can't wait to read again! #oldiebutgoody #comingofage #suemonkkidd
