wildeaboutbooks 's review for:
Ragnarok
by A.S. Byatt
This is the most difficult review I’ve written to date because a) I do not, as a general rule, discuss my religious viewpoints and b) I am rendered almost speechless by how powerfully this book affected me and any type of summary of the subject matter or my experience feels like it would be utterly inadequate.
But here goes anyway…
It’s a rare occurrence when an artist is able to so absolutely communicate your own emotions that it feels as if you were two parts of a whole. To be able to come to terms with feelings that you had been incapable of expressing up until that point feels like a profound release. As a child who felt alone and misunderstood because of my own religious beliefs (even to this day), I am so grateful to A. S. Byatt for creating this experience for me.
