Women Talking by Miriam Toews

2.0

The themes were interesting (freedom, forgiveness, love, faith) but the story telling just fell flat. It was so hard to get through. The women talked ad nauseam and seemed to change their minds every few minutes. It was also hard to keep track of who was who. The most interesting moments were the back stories that were told by the narrator (although why a book about women had to be told by a man is also another problem with the book). I've read All My Puny Sorrows by this author which was a hard read in a different way. I was disappointed with this book.
