Based on a true account of a group of Mennonite women who were repeatedly drugged and assaulted by men in their community. The entire book consists of the women discussing whether to leave the colony or stay and fight back. Thought provoking.

Reggie I loved this book so much. It could have been angry all the way throughout but I thought she did a good job of breaking that up. 4mo
HeatherBookNerd @Reggie I‘m curious now to see the movie. 4mo
jlhammar Loved this book! Movie is also fantastic. 4mo

A fun book about two young women biking through South America. They had a really easygoing relationship, and I enjoyed their sense of adventure.

Texreader I‘ll bet I‘d like this one! 5mo

Very interesting depictions of South America just before the millennium. Also good if you like motorcycles.

Ona habla :...

quote

Ellas hablan | Miriam Toews

¿Deberían las mujeres vengarse del daño que se les ha infligido? ¿ o deberían en cambio perdonar a los hombres y, en consecuencia, tener garantizado el paso por las puertas del cielo? Si no perdonamos a los hombres o aceptamos sus disculpas, nos obligarán a abandonar la colonia, dice, y, mediante esta excomunión, perderemos el derecho a entrar en el cielo

quote

No tenemos pensado cruzar el planeta ¿por qué no?, réplica Ona, que añade un dato interesante : ¿Sabíais que el período de migración de las mariposas y las libélulas es tan largo que a veces sólo llegan al destino sus nietas?
