Untamed
Four years ago, Glennon Doyle, author, activist and humanitarian, wife and mother of three—was speaking at a conference when a woman entered the room. Glennon looked at her and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. Soon she realized that they came to her from within.
Glennon was finally hearing her own voice—the voice that had been silenced by decades of cultural conditioning, numbing addictions, and institutional allegiances. She vowed to never again abandon herself. She decided to build a life of her own—one based on her individual desire, intuition, and imagination. She would reclaim her true, untamed self.
Due to publicity on Facebook and other social media this book was recommended as a must-read. Even Adele was a big fan of it. So, I decided to buy the book. I read it in Dutch with the title
'Ongetemd leven'.
It clearly is a beautiful memoir from the author herself and she wrote very honestly about her life. I liked that very much. I also admired the positive way she put things down on paper.
However I started several times to try to read the book but too soon I stopped reading. Was it annoying? No, it wasn't just my cup of tea.
I expected more of the book, but for the honest writing of the author, I would give her three stars on five.
I read Untamed as an ebook, bought via bol.com.
