Book: The Aftermath Of Unrest

Author: Natalie A Nascenzi

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

The Aftermath of Unrest is the second book that I have read written by the author Natalie A Nascenzi. It is a poetry and thoughts collection. Rush Hour, The Beautiful Battle Ends, Roof Top Thoughts, Old and Wise are some of my favorites from the collection.

‘Christmas in New York’ tempted me to visit New York once during Christmas.
As we read the story, Natalie takes us between past and present. Poems have a date written at the top-right of the page. The arrow point tells us whether we are forward in time or back in time. It’s a great concept.

I was glad to see the beautiful paintings in the book. This is an inspiring read that one can enjoy with an evening cup of tea. I was glad to read about Newton’s laws and how his third law can be applied to characteristics of the personality. The quarantine experience was worth reading. Overall, it’s a great book that one couldn’t miss to enjoy.
