Another idea for a book...

Here is another book I've come across that we might consider reading: a complicated kindness by Miriam Toews. "A work of fierce originality and brilliance, Miriam Toews' long-awaited third novel explores the ties that bind families together and the forces that tear them apart. It is the world according to Nomi Nickel, a heartbreakingly bewildered and wry young woman trapped in a small Mennonite town that seeks to set her on the path to righteousness and smother her at the same time." (That's from inside the front cover.) Let me know what you guys think.
