Fascinujúci príbeh o odvekých snoch a túžbach a o sile ženy zmeniť svet.„Som Ana. Bola som manželkou Ježiša, syna Jozefa Nazaretského.“ Takto sa začína fiktívny životopis Ježišovej družky, hoci o jej existencii Biblia neprináša žiadne správy. Príbeh sa odvíja od roku 16 nášho letopočtu, keď v Galilei vládli Rimania. Ana vyrastá v zámožnej židovskej rodine. Je to múdre dievča s rebelskými názormi a bystrým umom. Na rozdiel od iných vtedajších žien sa naučí čítať a písať, študuje Tóru a tajne píše o životoch zabudnutých žien Starého zákona, ktoré veľmi trpeli: o Eve, Sáre, Rebeke, Ráchel a Rút. Keď dovŕši štrnásť rokov, chcú ju vydať za starého vdovca. Pri stretnutí na trhu si Ana zdesene uvedomí, aký život ju čaká po boku tohto muža. Neznámy mladík s tmavými zvlnenými vlasmi a nežnými očami vycíti jej zúfalstvo a pomôže jej. Táto udalosť od základu zmení Anin život a dá mu nové smerovanie.Autorka neuveriteľne citlivo a vierohodne prepožičala hlas žene z úsvitu nášho letopočtu, o ktorej existencii máme len matné predstavy. Jej názory sú v úplnom protiklade s vtedajším chápaním mužskej a ženskej roly. Ana objavuje samu seba v časoch, keď sa ženy nesmeli učiť čítať ani písať. Ide za svojimi túžbami, bojuje za svoju slobodu i právo na rovnocennú lásku a nanovo prepisuje biblický príbeh, ktorý všetci poznáme.Sue Monk Kiddová chcela ukázať Ježiša ako človeka z mäsa a kostí a postavila mu po boku citlivú a vzdelanú ženu. Spoločne rozširujú svoje duchovné obzory a žijú v láske a porozumení, kým sa Ježišov osud, ako všetci vieme, tragicky nenaplní. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
