A universally honest epic on aging and renewal
Revisado: 07-28-24
Page after page, I found myself encountering moments in my own life, both in the shattering of self and in the possibility—a lifelong quiet yearning—for something more.
In Amelie, we get to live into adventures, encounters, relationships, outside of work, marriage, and parenting. We get to take on our fears and grow, transform. We get to indulge dreams far beyond what our deceptively rigid culture places upon us, what our society expects of us. "Us". Women that have aged out of 'the male gaze' we were trained to live into.
Three Keys feels like the tired, knowing, shared gaze between female comrades in the unspoken battle against feminine power—a reassuring hug and a wink that we'll get through it in the way women do. Not with masculine force or retaliation, but with un-cliched love, risky kindness, naked courage, and tender honesty. On the other side? Our truer, brighter, freer selves.

How can we ever be sure that we really know the other? To test the limits of our ability to inhabit lives that are not our own, Charles Foster set out to know the ultimate other: the nonhumans, the beasts. And to do that, he tried to be like them, choosing a badger, an otter, a fox, a deer, and a swift.

Not what I Expected
Revisado: 07-13-23
I hoped for an engaging immersion into otherworlds defined by different wats of experiencing Earth. The details are definitely written about. But the narration is dispassionate and seemingly bored and disappointed itself in what it is reading. I really tried to like this audiobook. I tried to set aside my visceral response to the narrator's voice, accent, dearth of emotion and energy--and ultimately could not. Each time I tried to dive back in I lasted about 20 minutes and had to press stop. I can't finish the book and I'm actually going to delete it from my library. I'm willing to bet if I were to check out the hardcopy at the library I would lose myself in it, though.
