Books like The testament of Mary by Colm Tóibín
In the ancient town of Ephesus, Mary lives in exile after her son's crucifixion. She has no interest in collaborating with the authors of the Gospel—her keepers, who provide her with food and shelter and visit her regularly. Living alone and in fear, she tries to piece together the events that led to her son's brutal death, and judges herself ruthlessly for not remaining at the foot of the cross until her son died, for fleeing to save herself. Through her narrative, Mary emerges as a woman of immense moral stature.
