I'm reading a similar book about a young woman, a growing young woman who's coming into herself. What's it called? OK, it's called The Book of Longings and it's by Sue Monk Kid K.I.D., who I mentioned before, beautiful poetic writer.
She wrote The Invention of Wings and the Secret Life of Bees. So this one is about a young woman coming into her adulthood. But it takes place in the first century in Israel.
Oh, and she's and she's going to be like fucking given away into marriage. But she's so smart and worldly and like learning about God. She's Jewish. And this is a spoiler, but not really because it's what it's about. Meet cute. She meets a boy who's like under her in class, like in her class ranking. But he is an outcast from his town of Nazareth where he's from. They they fucking have a meet cute and fall in love. And his name is Jesus.
It's so I was not expecting it because I was like, I'm just going to not even read that. I'm just going to listen to it because I love her. Right. Sue Monk Kid's writing. And then I was like, hold on. His mother's name is Mary. Hold on. Like I didn't figure it out. That is the ultimate. Oh, beautiful.
And I you know, I'm not. It was it's really lovely and like heartfelt.
