A practical guide to ditching overwhelm and making progress in all the areas of life that matter most - in only 15 minutes a day.
Audrey Thomas è celebrata per la sua acuta intuizione sulle complessità della vita delle donne, sforzandosi spesso di illuminare il divario tra uomini e donne e di promuovere una connessione tra le donne e i loro corpi. Il suo stile distintivo è caratterizzato da un gioco linguistico, che impiega giochi di parole, etimologie e doppi sensi per sottolineare le ironie e le ambiguità intrinseche alle parole. Questa meticolosa attenzione al linguaggio rivela l'atto stesso della scrittura e le complessità della comunicazione umana. Le narrazioni di Thomas sono ulteriormente arricchite da una ricchezza di allusioni letterarie, che spaziano da Shakespeare alla Bibbia.
