Description
In a secluded Mennonite colony, a group of women secretly gathers to confront the devastating truth about the violence inflicted on them and their daughters. With the colony’s men away, they must decide whether to remain within the only community they have ever known or risk an uncertain escape. Told through the recorded minutes of their extraordinary meeting, the novel explores faith, trauma, justice, solidarity, and the difficult work of imagining freedom. Miriam Toews combines urgency, compassion, and wry humor in a powerful examination of women claiming the right to determine their own futures.
