It’s a subject Thora Hjörleifsdóttir explores within a romantic relationship, in her novel Magma. Lilja is won over by an older beautiful, Derrida-quoting intellectual man. She’s so dazzled by him, she’ll do anything not to lose him, and despite his serial cheating, narcissism and emotional abuse through gaslighting, she rationalizes every wrong step he makes, every microaggression he projects towards her, every boundary he breaks. It’s easy to believe we’d never allow ourselves to stay in such a toxic relationship, but often we don’t recognize that we’re in it until it’s too late, normalizing behaviours because the alternative is too difficult to swallow.

It very much gave the weekend a sense of being in the loving care of a family. Having a house not a hotel gave us time and space to socialise and find solitudeas needed, really adding to the experience of care and compassion.

Stories can bring understanding, healing, reconciliation and unity.’ To take this research a step further, reading can enhance your empathetic skills and thus your relationships.

One microaggression might be easy enough to handle and pass by, just as one cut to the body would not cause too much pain or take too long to heal.
