Based on true stories, the book Forgiveness explores the thorny, complex, and fascinating topic of forgiveness. Cantacuzino's capacity for empathy shines through her conversations... She approaches her complex message with clear prose and an open heart... This note is a refreshing breath in a summer heat. If there is a message here, it is to listen more, think more, and preach less.
“This is an absolutely unforgettable book – beautifully written, intriguing in its insights, and deeply moving. We all need to forgive, and this book, through the unfolding of the stories of people who have something truly significant to forgive, will be an inspiration to help us reach a state of forgiveness. It is a book that will stay with the reader for a long time.”
“I forgive you.” Three simple words behind which lies an intriguing and complex concept. These words can be used to dismiss a trivial fight or be said to someone who has caused you significant harm. They can free you from guilt or place responsibility consciously on your shoulders. Forgiveness is often perceived as saccharine and overly religious, something reserved only for the spiritually superior or mentally strong. But in reality, it is a tough, risky concept that is intertwined with our daily lives.
Forgiveness examines the topic from every angle, approaching it with an attitude of inquiry rather than persuasion, presenting it as an offering, never as a prescription. Marina Cantacuzino explores, analyzes, and juxtaposes the limits and possibilities of forgiveness – in our relationships, for our physical and mental well-being, how it is expressed in international politics and criminal justice, and where it meets religious faith. She speaks to people from around the world who have examined forgiveness in various forms and conditions. She talks to a Holocaust survivor, someone who accidentally killed a friend, people who have lost loved ones to acts of violence, a former fighter during the Troubles, and the daughter of a man he killed.
Through these true stories, the insights of experts, and the author's personal experience from two decades of work in the field, the reader gains a better understanding of what forgiveness is and certainly is not, how it can be an important element in combating the cycle of suffering, and ultimately how it can help transform strained relationships and heal broken hearts.
