Song of the Magdalene by Donna Jo Napoli
5.0
A page turner. A heart stirrer. A smile maker.
This is an imagining of what may have brought a young girl to become the woman known as Mary Magdalene two thousand years ago. Gave me "The Red Tent" (Anita Diamant) vibes! -another 5 star read.
Its not preachy at all in the 'Christian sense' which I appreciated.
I found the story of her relationship with her handicapped friend very moving and brought a lot of understanding to something that is foreign to me.
The story moved me to tears at one point. That is how well the characters are written!
My first five-star read since April :)
