What a reckoning-and what a gift.” Leni Zumas, author of RED CLOCKS Their story is terrifying, joyful, gruesome, and magnetic. In Toews's brilliant design, eight women in a Mennonite hayloft manage to lay bare the rancid global root system of patriarchy. No other book I've read in the past year has spoken so lucidly about our current moment, and yet none has felt as timeless the always-wondrous Miriam Toews has written a book as close to a Greek tragedy as a contemporary Western novelist can come.” - Lauren Groff, author of FATES AND FURIES and FLORIDA “An astonishment, a volcano of a novel with slowly and furiously mounting pressures of anguish and love and rage. “This amazing, sad, shocking, but touching novel, based on a real-life event, could be right out of The Handmaid's Tale.” -Margaret Atwood, on Twitter Miriam Toews discusses her new novel, Women Talking with Lydia Kiesling.
