If you have ever been abused or know of someone who was abused this book will bring it all back and then make you realize there is hope at the end of the tunnel. Sad, happy, and heart filled story. ( ) Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. The First and the Last is one of the most touching books I have read in a long time. Going through spousal abuse and living through it and losing your only child makes you think what if it was you going through it. To be able to get your life back and forgive is hard. Allan G. Jonson wrote this book in a good way. Thank you for giving me the chance to read it and really make me think.
"Lyrical prose, sympathetic characters and an unwavering sense of hope and compassion make for a moving, engaging read."
This beautiful, brave, and liberating book is a triumph of the spirit. Engrossing and exquisitely written, it shines with rare courage and a tender, life-saving wisdom that comes only through facing the darkness we suffer or inflict on others. It is a marvelous story whose characters I am glad to have in my life. Joanna Macy Author, World as Lover, World as Self Allan Johnson's illumination of the mind of a woman recovering from horrific abuse and loss is miraculous, carried by a story that is both gripping and inspiring. It is a stunning achievement. Jean Kilbourne Creator of the award-winning film series, Killing Us Softly Allan Johnson's writing is moving, insightful, and deeply human. He takes us inside painful lives with courageous truth-telling, yet at the same time takes us inside of characters who can heal and thrive. This is a novel that rings true, and that we need urgently to take into our hearts. Lundy Bancroft Author, Why Does He Do That? The First Thing and the Last portrays an extraordinary woman who is brutalized - but the abuse becomes her sorrow and not her identity in Allan Johnson's complex, masterful and exacting understanding of such a woman's life. His ability and willingness to see so deeply, to portray a woman and her story so profoundly, takes our breath away. Welcome this extraordinary and most original novelist to the ranks of American literature. Deena Metzger Poet, novelist, and author of Writing For Your Life Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
