challenging informative inspiring medium-paced

This is a brilliant book. Klein’s writing is accessible, well-researched and compassionate. It was a very tough read, emotionally, for me. But one I think I’m going to want to revisit.

3.75

Some sections of this book were a fast read (III - Shadowlands) and absolutely engaged my brain. Some of the book was a bit heady and a bit of a slog though. 
On the whole I appreciate Naomi’s reflections and voice that shines through.
