Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a matter of choice - A Breath She Took by Ilan Amit - #Books #BookReview

A Breath She Took: A Story About a Woman Confronting Her Dark Secrets and Meeting Her New Self by Ilan Amit is about an internal transformation. 23 chapters and 158 pages tell you a tale in a very different manner. It might change your perspectives on life. This is a fascinating story of a young girl trying to run away from her home umpteen times. During this course of action, she never realizes when she becomes an adult. All of a sudden she realizes that now it is not merely a matter of paining muscles, shortening of breath, aching limbs, and profuse sweating because of continuous running for so many years, it is a matter of new discovery. Something more than all this that she is facing for years. She discovers she can fly instead. She realizes a new strength within. This is something that happens quite rarely.

The beginning of A Breath She Took: A Story About a Woman Confronting Her Dark Secrets and Meeting Her New Self by Ilan Amit is quite immersive and curiosity generating. It is powerful enough to grab your attention right from the first page itself. When roots of a tree start lifting the sidewalk bricks, it becomes necessary to take an immediate action. Probably cutting down the tree is the best option. Uprooting it completely comes as the only option in the mind at the first instance. Is it possible to attain the goal just by trimming it a little? Absolutely, this is not the story of a tree. But what if a similar kind of situation arises in one's life? The aggressive amputation results into just a surviving trunk to observe its own downfall. But everything doesn't happen as you think or wish in life.

What if a few weeks later you notice a little bud appearing on one of the stumps? Is it a moment of happiness or an occasion to cry? After spending so many years together Yaron wants them to split up. She has a childhood habit. When she's hurt, she smiles. As if by squeezing her cheek muscles, she tries to block her tear glands. Such is the intensity of the engrossing story of A Breath She Took: A Story About a Woman Confronting Her Dark Secrets and Meeting Her New Self by Ilan Amit. Her name is Inbal. She had to leave her house when she was only 10. And then after living together with her husband Yaron, who one fine day wants them to split. Life has been so cruel to her in every instance. It is fascinating to read how she comes out of it. Bravely.
