After #jancarson 's The Raptures, I read #MiriamToews novel, A Complicated Kindness & was surprised to find a common theme #Rapture

Teenage Nomi is Mennonite trying to work out why her sister & mother have disappeared and begins to question this eternal life belief system that shuns so easily.

N. Ireland 1993. When children from a class in a small town begin dying from a mysterious illness, locals react, exposing the realities of family life in a community amidst "the Troubles."
One family seems to be immune.

A thought-provoking portrayal of an affective legacy

The Raptures, #JanCarson

Coincidentally, reading #jancarson then #miriamtoews there's a common theme of #rapture from the Evangelical Protestant to the Mennonite.

"The idea is that if we can successfully deny ourselves the pleasures of this world, we'll be first in line to enjoy the pleasures of the next world, forever."
