You probably notice that we don't cover much fiction here on Common Threads. But every once in a while a book comes my way that knocks my socks off. This is one.  

The  story has a foundational truth. Siddhartha, who became the Buddha, did have a wife. We just don't know what happened to her after he left her. This story postulates that she followed him as a disciple.

Really, really enjoy. Theme music "Nigal."
