In this slim volume, Cantacuzino and Noor give us an overview of how we experience forgiveness--what it takes to forgive and why we choose to withhold it. They use first-hand accounts from people around the world to illustrate grievances on a personal and national level, and they also delve into the biological functions and repercussions of forgiveness. This is only scratching the surface, but it is a lovely introduction to a deep subject. I loved the artwork provided by Standing to enhance the information--she uses a mellow palette that suits the book perfectly. It appears this is a series of sorts, with titles on trauma, anxiety, and pain, I look forward to reading them all.
