marilynsaul's review against another edition
4.0
I was a little skeptical at first, as there is so little historic information on Yashodhara that I wasn't certain the author could pull off creating a credible picture of her life in the first century B.C. But I soon settled into her character. What REALLY made this book for me, however, was the transition from Siddhartha to the Buddha. There were many thought-provoking passages for study, and I found myself actually incorporating a small part of the Buddha's wisdom into my life. This is a very, very satisfying book, and I joyfully recommend it.
