Description

The Book of Longings is a bestselling historical novel that reimagines the life of Ana, a fiercely intelligent and rebellious young woman living in first-century Galilee. Born into privilege, Ana is sheltered from the harsh realities of Roman occupation, yet she refuses to accept the limitations placed on her as a woman. Gifted with a brilliant mind and a passion for writing, Ana secretly pens stories about the forgotten and silenced women around her—women whose voices history has erased.

Her life takes a dramatic turn when she is forced into an arranged marriage with an elderly widower to advance her father’s political ambitions. Horrified by the prospect, Ana longs for freedom and purpose. Everything changes when she meets Jesus, an eighteen-year-old with radical ideas and a magnetic presence. Their connection is immediate and transformative, sparking a journey that will challenge Ana’s beliefs, ignite her courage, and shape her destiny.

As Ana navigates a world dominated by men, religion, and empire, she fights to claim her voice and live a life of meaning. Through richly drawn characters and evocative storytelling, The Book of Longings offers a powerful meditation on faith, feminism, and the enduring strength of women.
