I love Miriam Toews writing. It is smart, strong, and unforgettable. All My Puny Sorrows was my first Toews book and it has stayed with me ever since. The beauty of that story just wrecks me. Two sisters, one who is truly depressed and suicidal, and the other sister who is desperate to keep her sister alive. Oh how my heart breaks just thinking about their story. I suppose I love it so much because it resonated so deeply. All this to say that Toews writing does that - it yanks on your heartstrings and yanks hard. Her writing is fierce, tender, raw, and powerful. So any book she writes I will read. And this new one is her memoir, A Truce That Is Not Peace. I am eager to lose myself in her words once more.

I always meant to read her book Women Talking; have you read that one?
