Review of A Fate Unwound Too Soon
A Fate Unwound Too Soon by Anna-Karen Sorensen is aligned with the genre of drama and poetry. The author details her heartfelt emotions and overall experience garnered as a caretaker of premature babies at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Throughout the read, the feeling of sympathy expressed in the form of compassion not only lends itself to parents and loved ones of premature babies but also extends its appearance to strangers such as caretakers.
Firstly, the book introduces the idea that one should venture into the read with an open mind as its rich content in poetic form should be savoured with appreciation. The read then goes into the intricate details of premature babies being symbols of life’s events and the wisdom they offer when death happens to present itself.
The pictures presented of premature babies along with the poetic words painted the conditions faced by these babies. This vivid combination of pictures and words highlights the birth of babies, their appearance, the wired web of machines they are strung up to, and the unconditional love they receive from their loved ones and caretakers. The depiction of love flowing from nerve wrecked parents and visions of Sorensen who so diligently watches over her tiny patients are what made death a personal struck of pain. Pain, however, is of distant memory whenever a premature baby grows in strength to be discharged from the delicate care of the NICU. All this was greatly highlighted with poetic grace.
Yet another plus is that the book concludes with a short depiction entitled “The crack in the garden wall”. This brings awareness to the angelic arrival of babies from the womb to their earthly homes.
Throughout the read, I did not encounter anything that would negatively take away from the rich poetic content. I found no errors and the editing was exceptional. This made the book a phenomenal read. For this reason, I rate this book as a 4 out of 4 stars. The read is a definite travel machine into the world of premature babies and how they traverse the endeavours outside the womb.
This book is a genuine gift befitting for caretakers of premature babies, parents (especially expectant mothers), and persons interested in the delicate experience of premature babies. I must caution you, as the author rightfully stated, one must pursue the book with a receptive mind as the poetic style is unique and requires much thought into the explicit meaning of such content.
