Writing words on paper is one of the oldest forms of communication, and yet it can evoke the most fine-tuned and complex emotions. Presently, I am reading, A Complicated Kindness, by Miriam Toews. The story is indeed a complicated tale of a young girl growing up in a mennonite community. The narrator Nomi Nickels leads us through her traumatic life with a sharp wit and the aching sense that her escape must be somewhere on the horizon.
I’m not quite finished yet. Nobody spoil it for me or I shall haunt your bookshelf when I die.
