In Praise of Retreat: Finding Sanctuary in the Modern World by Kirsteen MacLeod
3.5
*I received this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review*
This was a very interesting look into the lives of those that have retreated from society, both religiously and not, and the various reasons behind them. The author journeyed to many of the people that she writes about, taking on their steps, daily routines, and stories.
This book wasn't exactly what I expected it to be, but it was still interesting in the ways that it talked about how we interact with society, how we view those who step away from it, and how we tell the stories of the world.
