I enjoyed this book. Some real insights in coping with trauma and narcissists and finding peace. A very different attitude to life than me, so interesting to see it through Alice's perspective.

Bookview Review

Sanza tells the story of a middle-aged, divorced woman finding her voice through spirituality in this emotionally taut story that explores identity issues and self-discovery. Alice is completely broken when she discovers Steve, her husband of two decades, has set her up to lose everything in the divorce. On the brink of a breakdown, she sets out on an unexpected path of spiritual growth and self-discovery, and finds her footing, as well as her desire to create new life for herself. In Alice, Sanza has created a deeply realized, complex protagonist who is naïve and wise at once. She skillfully portrays Alice’s low self-esteem that has stemmed from an unwed pregnancy and birth of a child in her twenties, leading to her exploitation at the hands of her narcissistic husband. Alice’s inner turmoil and pain pervades the narrative, letting readers a glimpse into her psyche through her past regrets and present-day realizations. She elegantly channels Alice’s insecurities, worries, and self-doubts as well as reflects her growth, her realization of self, and her newfound understanding. Through ancient wisdom and philosophy, Alice acquires a voice and finally realizes that she is worthy and desirable. This inspiring novel will speak to countless women who have gone through similar situation.

Good Read Guide

Kathleen rated it it was amazingTold with raw emotion and real insights and reflections, the author shows us her journeys to becoming her current, healed and balanced self. As she tells about the series of events that lead her to and through her insights and recovery, we learn alongside her as she discovers how to come to terms with what life has brought her. Her healing path is a source of inspiration to others that may be looking to grow in this lifetime as well and I found that her message of determination is one that will help to guide others who may find themselves on a similar personal path. Her methods of self-discovery are unique and intriguing. And, they are successful! As I laughed, cried, shook my head in wonder, and smiled with joy as I read this book, I realized that this is something everyone looking to heal themselves from the inside should read and consider to guide their own path

    Official Review: Alice's Ego by Alice Sanza

    Post by Saint Bruno » 23 Jan 2021, 12:14

    [Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Alice's Ego" by Alice Sanza.]

    In Alice's Ego, the author, Alice Sanza, tells us an emotional tale of self-discovery. The protagonist, Alice, is a middle-aged woman who recounts her journey in life. She highlights her devastating divorce from her narcissistic husband, Steve, and how he cunningly ensured she lost everything in the divorce. Growing up wasn't any better for Alice because she suffered the same narcissistic abuse from her parents, especially her father.

    As a result, Alice becomes more inclined to spirituality, self-awakening, and ancient wisdom. In one of her spiritual journeys, she meets a younger woman, Matilda, who also seeks to control her. Matilda's life seemed to mirror that of her ex-husband, Steve. While Steve set her up to lose everything in their divorce, Matilda is bent on using lies and witchcraft to ensure her husband also loses everything. Will Alice be able to liberate herself from Matilda? Will she be able to rise above all these narcissistic abuses and enjoy her life? You have to read this 210-page book to find out.

    Firstly, I don't think any plot synopsis can do justice to the amount of information available in this book. Haven't we all been in a situation where our benevolence was perceived as weakness? What about our quest to understand our purpose in life? The author tries to engage the reader through an exciting writing style while dishing out lessons and insights into the metaphysical realm. There seems to be something for everyone to learn from in this book.

    I enjoyed the protagonist's unique methods of dealing with abuse, insecurity, and other challenges. I think that her journey of self-discovery will inspire readers to follow her healing path. What I liked the most about this book is its message of determination. It is clear from Alice's story that giving up isn't an option if one must succeed. Also, I must commend the author for bringing issues like alcoholism to light in this book. Readers will learn from the mistakes of the characters in the book and be inspired to do better.

    Furthermore, the author uses the first-person point of view in her narrations. I found this style to help me connect better with the innermost feelings of the protagonist. I struggled a bit with the non-linear sequence of events in the book. Yes, chapter headings indicate the year and location of the events therein, but I found keeping up with the different timelines challenging at the beginning of the book.

    Another aspect of the book that I like is the inclusion of poems in it. My favorite is the one titled 'Squirrel.' I love how it talks about pursuing our goals despite the dangers on the way.

    Nevertheless, there were things that I didn't enjoy about this book. Some characters disappeared as the narrations progressed. Whey they reappeared, I found myself trying to recollect who they were. To the author's credit, she tries to help the reader remember them by restating the characters' previous roles, but she didn't do so for all of them. More so, there were instances where the author dropped a piece of additional information that wasn't related to the event being narrated.

    I had a good time reading this book and could easily not hold a grudge against the issues I mentioned above. However, I found up to ten errors in the book. Therefore, I am awarding Alice's Ego three out of four stars. It is mostly because of the editing mishaps that it is not getting a perfect rating from me. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy fictionalized self-discovery books, especially those willing to explore the metaphysical realms to achieve healing and peace of mind.

    AUTHORS NOTE - this is my favourite review. It was so constructive and the reviewer sent me all the errors so they were easy to correct and the missing chapter returned to the book so it is now complete. Alice
