Description

I forgive you

Three simple words behind which sits an intriguing and complex concept These words can be used to absolve a meaningless squabble or said to someone who has caused you great harm They can liberate you from guilt or consciously place blame on your shoulders

Forgiveness can often be perceived as saccharine and overtly religious something just for the spiritually superior or mentally strong But really it is a gritty risky concept that is so often relevant to our ordinary everyday lives Forgiveness explores the subject from every angle coming from a place of enquiry rather than persuasion presenting it as an offering never a prescription

Marina Cantacuzino seeks to investigate unpick and debate the limits and possibilities of forgiveness in our relationships for our physical and mental wellbeing how it plays out in international politics and within the criminal justice system and where it intersects with religious faith Cantacuzino speaks to people across the globe who have considered forgiveness in different forms and circumstances She talks to a survivor of Auschwitz to someone who accidentally killed a friend to people who have lost loved ones in acts of violence to a former combatant in The Troubles as well as to the daughter of someone he murdered

Through these real stories expert opinion and the authors experience from two decades working in this field the reader gets to better understand what forgiveness is and what it most definitely isnt how it can be an important element in breaking the cycle of suffering and ultimately how it might help transform fractured relationships and mend broken hearts
