Reviews and more on my blog: Entering the Enchanted Castle

A moving story of how a young journalist decided to overcome the habits of his life so far and delve into a difficult family history. In the process he found healing and transformation for himself as well as a new relationship with his estranged parents. The style is prosaic, with little in the way of sentimental flourish, but the bare bones of the story itself come out all the more strongly that way. To turn within ourselves and choose to go in a new direction, opening our hearts to the other who has hurt us while admitting where maybe we ourselves have been at fault, is such a simple and yet such a difficult process. This is an example I will long remember.
