#MiriamToews is a perennial bookclub favourite.
I was impressed with Sarah Polleys interpretation of her novel “Women Talking” have you read or viewed it?

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.

Next up in the scammer universe: 'Miriam Toews' and 'Sophie Adams.' I suspect they're probably the same person as very similar writing styles!

Excellent book. Read and well discussed in both my bookclubs. #MiriamToews book, Women Talking was made into a powerful movie by Canada’s own #SarahPolley
Highly recommend both book and movie!

Hattie is called back from Paris by her 11 yr old niece due to hospitalisation of unstable mother Min. When 15 yr old Logan gets expelled, they hit the road to find a long departed father.
Ideal summer read, pacy, dramatic, funny, total feel good.

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."

"Conversing with children is a fine art, I realised. An art form that demands large amounts of both honesty and misdirection. Or maybe discretion is a better word. Or a gradual release of information like time-controlled vitamins."

Have you read anything written by Canada’s brilliant author #MiriamToews
I’m deep into her most recent, a memoir, “A Truce That is Not Peace” and know that bookclubbers will love it!
Highly recommend.
Fun fact; #SarahPolley directed the film adaptation of Ms. Toews novel “Women Talking”, watch it!

Grieving the loss of a sister & mother; unsure what the big deal is about eternal life anyway.
"You can see it sometimes in the eyes of people when they look at you and don't know what to say. When they ask me how my dad is, for instance, and mean how am I managing without my mother."

#miriamtoews fascinating memoir written in a sometimes fragmented, sometimes narrative style, with stitch patterns from previous chapters repeated later on. A great sense of her multi-generational home. Family. Writing. Told with humour.
