Pages : 361
Book Description
What Love Looks Like Humans, dream. Big, strong dreams of the need to love and be loved. Fragments of these are scattered throughout the dreams of others. And although these hungers may occasionally sag, fly off, or lie dormant, few of us abandon the search for an essential connection, one which can occur between those of disparate ages, cultures, backgrounds. Or it may be a compelling attachment to a place, or purpose. This pursuit may evolve slowly. Or it might appear straightaway, without warning. Or, it may never succeed. Glitches arise to confound the quest - betrayal or disappointment, hesitation or denial. Each character in these stories is thrust from a seemingly uneventful existence into a reckoning of love that demands a life-altering decision. At the end, we are left with awakened insights which will return to our hearts time and again. Die with memories, not dreams, Andra Watkins People change and forget to tell each other, Lillian Hellman

A Complicated Kindness
Author: Miriam Toews
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1582438897
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
This “darkly funny and provocative” coming-of-age novel balances grief and hope in the voice of a witty teenage girl whose Canadian family is shattered by fundamentalist Christianity (O, The Oprah Magazine). From the author of Women Talking—now an Academy Award-winning film starring Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, Frances McDormand, and Jessie Buckley “Half of our family, the better–looking half, is missing,” Nomi Nickel tells us at the beginning of A Complicated Kindness. Left alone with her sad, peculiar father, her days are spent piecing together why her mother and sister have disappeared and contemplating her inevitable career at Happy Family Farms, a chicken slaughterhouse on the outskirts of East Village. Not the East Village in New York City where Nomi would prefer to live, but an oppressive town founded by Mennonites on the cold, flat plains of Manitoba, Canada. This darkly funny novel is the world according to the unforgettable Nomi, a bewildered and wry sixteen–year–old trapped in a town governed by fundamentalist religion and in the shattered remains of a family it destroyed. In Nomi's droll, refreshing voice, we're told the story of an eccentric, loving family that falls apart as each member lands on a collision course with the only community any of them have ever known. A work of fierce humor and tragedy by a writer who has taken the American market by storm, this searing, tender, comic testament to family love will break your heart.
