Outstanding work of fiction!! Directly into my top five, maybe even top three, of the year so far. This book was fantastic in so many way.

First, this was very well written, even the hardness scene were written with beautiful word and always perfectly dose between too little and too much, to give just enough and make the reader live every moment like he was there.

This is mostly a feminist book, women who want to have a voices, who want to being active, take action, take control of their own life at a time when this wasn't easy to do so. Those characters are great, well represented, felt true and alive and I love them. I also like the way Jesus and the more «religious» part was deal with. Nothing too religious, in fact almost not at all, Jesus was bring «down» to a human level and that is was make it feel even more real, more «believable» and even more tragic in some way.

The most outstanding part of this book is the way the author handle the plot. Everyone will go into this book knowing exactly how this will end. Everyone knows! And still we are gripping at our chair waiting for it to happen, being anxious about it, terrify and unable to stop reading while knowing the end, which is an amazing accomplishment!! I even cry reading it (something are rarely do, second book out of 500 so far this year...), knowing again what was going to happen!

Definitely an author I will read more from!! Don't get scare by the religious side you might think it has, it isn't there, this is a story about life, about love, about women and just a wonderful book!

I highly recommend it!!
Seriously!
Read it!
