Rest and Be Thankful by Emma Glass
3.0
Emma Glass's Rest and Be Thankful is about the mundanity of life which hits us in the most terrible ways possible. It is about being a part of the system to hold the system and completely let go of any sense of self.
It is about the self's surrender to the system.
A nurse in a paediatric unit, witnessing gentle lives struggle to hold on, Laura finds herself in a constant turmoil because of her overbearing schedule and heartbreaking profession.
She is a woman who needs rest. She is starved of any sense of peace that would make life make sense to her again.
A devastating narrative written in a stream of consciousness pattern, it is a book of heartbreak through and through. It is a frenzy of words that transported me to a land devoid of any emotional autonomy.
