\nThus begins Miriam Toews' spellbinding novel.\nGradually\, as we hear the women's vivid voices console\, tease\, admonish\, regale\nand debate each other\, we piece together the reason for the gathering: they\nhave forty-eight hours to make a life-altering choice on behalf of all the\nwomen and children in the colony. And like a vast night sky coming into view\nbehind the bright sparks of their voices\, we learn of the devastating events\nthat have led to this moment.
In June\nwe will be reading \;The Great Alone \;by Kristin Hannah.
