Chapter ten was a bit hard going with its crickets and prophet but the imagery of war was so well described. Resonating in these times of Iran and US war 🥲

The book is still engaging although the narrative on getting to manus island via sea 🌊 captured much deeper emotive feelings of distress and mortality than the banal and desperate life in prison so far.

Wow! What a great read so far. Appreciated the translators’s notes initially. The rich descriptions of the sea voyages are breath taking and so vivid in courage, fear and mortality.

This was a solid read from the perspective that it did what it set out to do and easily engages the reader throughout. Recommended for therapists too as it highlights the lived experience of CPTSD and the therapeutic journey of the author.

Really enjoying the way this book is written. Easy and engaging to read. And it integrates and synthesises theory with lived experience really well.

I’m enjoying this so far. Very engaging and well written. I’ve reached Part 2 and hope it’s not deep in theory that I’m already knowledgeable about. I hope it stays with the story more than the theory to come.

I’ve move to The Correspondent this morning because I can’t find this book. I’m not disappointed!

Not that inspiring!

It’s probs not what I expected. Given I’m a therapist…not much new in here…just repackaged attachment theory u der her branding of mother hunger.

Finding myself skim reading these last two sessions. Feels like a high action movie that goes on and on…can’t wait to finish it so I can start another book!
