It came to me at just the right second (by which I mean, I took it from the house where I was house-sitting at just the right second), and I have taken it straight to heart. Visionary and original, hooks shows how love heals the wounds we bear as individuals and as a nation, for it is the cornerstone of compassion and forgiveness and holds the power to overcome shame.įor readers who have found ongoing delight and wisdom in bell hooks's life and work, and for those who are just now discovering her, All About Love is essential reading and a brilliant book that will change how we think about love, our culture-and one another. Moving from the cultural to the intimate, hooks notes the ties between love and loss and challenges the prevailing notion that romantic love is the most important love of all. She offers a rethinking of self-love (without narcissism) that will bring peace and compassion to our personal and professional lives, and asserts the place of love to end struggles between individuals, in communities, and among societies. In eleven concise chapters, hooks explains how our everyday notions of what it means to give and receive love often fail us, and how these ideals are established in early childhood. All About Love offers radical new ways to think about love by showing its interconnectedness in our private and public lives.

C E Morgan has created something of a masterpiece here, that I believe would transfer wonderfully to the big screen. I deliberately haven't given much of the story away as I think it's begging to be read. At around 600 pages it's a long read, but it's such a rich, all enveloping saga that reveals the complete circle of life in all it's sordid glory. Henry Forge decides to break with the family tradition of crop farming in favour of horse racing and breeding, but don't let that put you off ( I have no knowledge or interest in either) and though paramount to the story, there is SO much more to this book. The wealthy Forge family are one of the oldest families in Kentucky, descended from the first settlers to travel the harsh Wilderness Road. Of course these scenes and words were crucial to the overall picture, but you know what they say ' once read they cannot be unread' Powerful - Inspiring - and Moving words, and yet, these words also create vivid images of rape, slavery, and cruelty, that I found particularly hard to stomach. First off, I need to say that this is possibly THE most beautifully written book that I've had the pleasure to read. Thus, he successfully faced his troubled past and he went through the process of healing his bettered and fragmented sense of self. Mauriac achieved catharsis by creating – and identifying with – fictional people going through painful experiences similar to his own. The article contends that the author got " emotional closure " by creating characters, who, just like him, suffered and almost suffocated at the hands of their own relatives. This analysis does not mean to suggest that Mauriac was a misanthropist (or a misogynist for that matter, as the majority of his literary characters are females) or that he found pleasure in his characters' suffering. Mauriac infused his personal anguish into his fictions, but the question is whether his re-tributive stance towards his family lead to some form of catharsis. His literature can be read as an attempt to heal a psychic wound caused by his family background. It has been argued that the author's gloomy depiction of the family was directly related to his own upbringing. This article analyses the recurrent and overarching themes of hatred and silence in François Mauriac's fiction.

Lewis, quote from Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation.” But who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? The words “compelle intrare,” compel them to come in, have been so abused be wicked men that we shudder at them but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy. The Prodigal Son at least walked home on his own feet. I did not then see what is now the most shining and obvious thing the Divine humility which will accept a convert even on such terms. In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed: perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England.
