A review by zasobel
The Believer by Sarah Krasnostein

4.0

I've been very slow getting off the mark with reading this year, but I'm glad I started with this one. I find that sometimes Krasnostein's sentences waffle eruditely, but just as often they skewer with such precision that I have to close the book for a bit. Her insights here are not particularly challenging (we are driven to different beliefs by common fears, so shouldn't we all try and get along a little more?), but still run the gamut from enjoyable to incredibly moving. I'm in my empathetic scepticism era so this was a great fit for me at this time in my life.
