Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home by Rhoda Janzen
2.0
I read this on the recommendation of a friend's mother after she learned I grew up surrounded by Mennonites and Brethrens. She wanted someone to about the book with.
I didn't particularly agree with most of the author's life choices and couldn't relate to her much at all. Her anecdotes about her Mennonite community and her irreverant historical accounts of Menninites were entertaining, though.
I got the impression writing this book was theraputic for the author, as much of it read like a rambling therapy session. There was no cohesive structure tying it all together, even on the chapter level.
