The Book of Longings

Just had my heart filled to the brim and then gutted by this book. A friend recommended it to me, so I didn't look at the summary and just dove in. What a gorgeously written book. The language is poetic and heartfelt. Seeing everything through Ana's eyes was an organic-feeling primer for the class system and the catalyst for many religious movements in Biblical times. This book felt like a sister book to Circe by Madeline Miller in many ways.
