Boy, this is a tough read. I hope for most readers it is unimaginable to consider they might be the closest confident of someone who desperately, and for so long, wants to die by suicide. …It was not unimaginable to me 😢

pickI am very impressed with this novel. Toews takes a topic that is bleak and weaves subtle colors through the somberness. The humor, deep philosophical thought, and strength of the characters carried me through the book and made me hopeful despite the horrific circumstances that set the narrative in motion. This is the kind of novel that will have me pondering life for quite awhile now that I‘m setting it down.
so-soVery interesting - it‘s a short read based on the true story of the rape and violation of over 100 women in a Mennonite colony . The book bases its story around the decision making and reasoning of the actions the women decide to take . So interesting rather than riveting I would say .

Más te vale escribirme cartas. Le dije que claro, que sí, pero serán un rollo. En mi vida no pasa nada emocionante. No tiene que pasar nada emocionante para ser vida. Replicó.

bailedI can't stand the narrator and I'm not emotionally invested in this book.
My Christmas parties are done. I have nothing to do for the next for 48 hours except read and eat yummy baked treats. Which book am I going to read tonight?
