Women Talking by Miriam Toews

3.0

While this is certainly an important book, and I wanted to love it, I found the framing device of a man writing the meeting minutes to be distracting and frustrating. For a book that is supposed to be about the experiences of girls and women, I found it to be a largely male-centered narrative because of the narrator, who goes off into parenthetical side notes far too often.
