A review by kopratic
The Miracles of Ordinary Men, by Amanda Leduc

4.0

There's a discussion to be had in this book about conditions that are ignored or downplayed by many people -- but that severely affect those who suffer from them. "You don't look like anything is wrong," even though you can feel the wings constantly on your back, growing every day. The commentary is mostly in the subtext, but I think the book does a great job with it. On the flipside, we also get witness to an incredibly violent relationship from another POV. We see how the relationship turns from controlling to violent to manipulative. It's an unhealthy relationship that isn't portrayed as anything but.

This book is both bleak and hopeful. There are parts that I think will be difficult for some to get through. But after reading this one, I'm really interested to see about this author's future books.
