Having grown up Mennonite herself, Toews is able to paint a portrait of a specific faith and devotion that is unique to these conservative communities. Women Talking brilliantly weaves a collective feminist awakening into a story about deep faith in God and divine justice.
I've never read anything like this novel before and I absolutely fell in love with Toews' haunting prose. I can't wait to read more of her work!
