Praying with Jane Eyre: Reflections on Reading as a Sacred Practice by Vanessa Zoltan

Go to review page

3.5

I really enjoyed the first half of this book but when she explained she cried more for a fictional white character than the suffering of people in the world, I couldn’t ignore it. In second half of the book, Vanessa names “God” multiple times which was confusing as she identifies as an atheist. The depth that her love for certain texts reaches, threw up some red flags of privilege and to me, off-putting.
