Book Report

The book, Adrift is written in a narrative format in which the author documents her mental and physical adventures. Throughout her adventures, she contemplates the human condition, particularly related to issues of infertility, and the ways in which it affects people’s perceptions of self and others. While the book lacks organization and structure, Miranda Ward’s writing style still captivates the reader and invites them to explore the depths of their psyche and discover new truths about the realities of human existence.

While Miranda Ward's book is an insightful and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, it does not provide readers with any concrete conclusions or answers to the many questions it poses. Instead, it invites readers to reflect on their own experiences and ideas, encouraging them to explore their own thoughts and views on topics such as fertility, uncertainty, nature, and self-identity. Through creative writing and personal anecdotes, the author seeks to draw readers into a world of wonder and exploration that will leave them feeling introspective and provoked.
