They Will Tell You the World Is Yours by Anna Mitchael Book Review

Rating: 4 Stars

From the publisher: Mitchael’s spiritual quest led her to craft this exquisite collection of short, incisive vignettes. As they unfold, we observe a woman grow from childhood into early adulthood, and through a crisis that ultimately turns into an awakening. She asks questions, explores, falls, and gets back up, learning to sift the messages she is told, seeking to discover who she is and for truth beyond what the world has prescribed for her happiness.

Review:

They Will Not Tell You... that sometimes a book comes along at the right moment in your life. Mitchael’s vignettes are written so beautifully that they flow from one page to the next, even though they are not on the same topic. It feels like you’re reading letters from a friend about her life and how she has viewed it growing up, moving, falling in and out of love and then making the choice to start a family in her own time. There were definitely some vignettes I enjoyed more than others, but as a whole, this showcased the beauty of being female and the choices we make (or don't make) and how they all affect us one way or another.

The one thing I didn't care for was how the book blurb says that it is a "spiritual quest", I did not get that feeling from the book, more of a woman's reflection of life and the choices she made.

Otherwise, this was a wonderful book that even though short, I sat with it for a while and I am so glad that I did.

Thank you to Netgalley and Convergent Books for providing me with a free copy of this e-book in exchange for an honest review.
