Mending Life: A Handbook for Repairing Clothes and Hearts By Nina and Sonya Montenegro - A Book Review

     


First of all I must say that the illustrations in this book are absolutely delightful. They set the mood for the book. The authors mention that they were in high school in the early 2000s, but they are truly old souls, both in their writing voices and in their world view. While they refer to some Eastern religions, a mending life also fits into the Christian view of intrinsic value and restoration.

This book is as much about philosophy and a way of life as it is an instruction manual. The authors give step-by-step instructions for a variety of ways to mend different types of fabrics with different uses. The instructions seem clear, but I have not as of yet attempted to put them into use. I would recommend this book to young and senior adults, and everyone in-between. I am grateful to have received a copy from Sasquatch Books via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to give a positive review and received no monetary compensation.
