A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews

The PHENOMENAL bestseller is available in a stunning new package.

Nomi Nickel, a heartbreakingly bewildered and wry young woman, is growing up trapped in a small Mennonite town that seeks to set her on the path to righteousness and smother her at the same time. Left alone with her father when half her family disappears, Nomi is trying to avoid a career at the local chicken abattoir, while dreaming of life elsewhere and—soon enough—finding herself on a collision course with the only community she has ever known.

A work of fierce originality and brilliance, A Complicated Kindness fearlessly, achingly explores the ties that bind families together and the forces that tear them apart.

MIRIAM TOEWS is the author of five other bestselling novels: Summer of My Amazing Luck, A Boy of Good Breeding, The Flying Troutmans, Irma Voth, All My Puny Sorrows (finalist for the Giller Prize and winner of the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize), and one work of non-fiction, Swing Low: A Life. She is a winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction, the Libris Award for Fiction Book of the Year, the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, and the Writers’ Trust Marian Engel/Timothy Findley Award. She lives in Toronto.
