Heya,
Katie Marsh’s book The Rest of Me was a really interesting exploration of what it is
to be a family and how the roles we take in a family can unintentionally limit
us.
Alex is the one who always copes, she is
the one on who all the responsibility rests and she needs to be well. So how
does she cope when her husband is suddenly well after years and she isn’t well?
What does it take for us to live honestly with those around us?
And maybe there’s a lot worse than the
worst that can happen.
I think this story will appeal to many
women who want to be good at all the things and are slowly dying under the
weight of their own expectations. At the heart of it this is a story about
honesty and about the very most important things in life… which are always
relationships.
