Review: The Apology

The Apology by Eve Ensler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eve Ensler’s The Apology is an inspiring story of a life resurrected. The book is “an apology” that Eve never received from her father. This letter of apology, written by her and for her from her father’s point of view, is not an easy read. At the age of five Eve’s innocence was destroyed by her father. Throughout her life, she struggled due to the sexual abuse and violence of her narcissistic father. The mental, physical, and emotional parts of her became tainted and left her empty. Her grades started to drop, she secluded herself, and her hygiene was atrocious. In her teenage years she led a life of promiscuity, drugs, and sex, which drove her father into rage fits. At one point in her life, she saw hope, she needed to fight back---she was resurrected.
