Ruth Young suspects that something is terribly wrong with her mother.

When Ruth discovers the papers, she is transported to a backwoods village known as Immortal Heart. Like layers of sediment being removed, each page reveals secrets: of the mute nursemaid, Precious Auntie, and of the curse that LuLing believes she released through betrayal. Within LuLing's calligraphed pages awaits the truth about a mother's heart that she cannot tell her daughter, yet hopes she will never forget. The Bonesetter's Daugher is a luminous novel of the human spirit, revealing two women whose history and love are shared deep in their bones.

The Gospel of Judas by Simon Mawer

Synopsis:
Among the ancient papyri of the Dead Sea, a remarkable scroll is discovered. Written in the first century AD, it purports to be the true account of the life of Jesus, as told by Youdas the sicarios - Judas Iscariot.

The task of proving - or disproving - its validity falls to Father Leo Newman, one of the world's leading experts in Koine, the demotic Greek of the Roman Empire. But as Leo absorbs himself in Judas's testimony, the stories of his own life haunt him. The story of his forbidden yet irresistable love for a married woman. The story of his mother's passionate and tragic affair in war-time Rome. They are stories of love and betrayal that may threaten his faith just as deeply as the Gospel of Judas...
