Commentary/review

I did not like this book at first, briefly decided not to continue listening but in the end finished it with goosebumps. I was perhaps fooled by the yuppie tone the main part of the memoir starts with.

It may seem outrageous to attempt to act like a fountain of wisdom in one’s own memoir. However, this Author succeeded without sounding pretentious. She keeps giving testimony to the fact that she is able to pull through anything, safely landing on the other side without making too much fuss. How she does this, nobody knows (perhaps even she does not fully comprehend it). More personal bits of the story are truly moving. It is a transformative and interesting lecture, expertly read by a very talented voice actress. Certainly also a good book for female leaders, decision-makers and all kinds of trauma survivors.

I love this cover, in color and in black-and-white, my current standard. The message behind the picture is difficult to grasp and so is the book’s multi-faceted meaning.
