Miriam Toews, with her wry wit and heart-stopping poignancy, takes us right back to the unforgettable world of A COMPLICATED KINDNESS. Two sisters in their 40s, daughters of a "complicated" Mennonite family: Elfreida and Yolandi. Elf, happily married, wealthy, glamorous, sophisticated, is a world-renowned pianist; she wants to die. Yoli, divorced, broke, promiscuous, is author of a soon-to-be defunct series of YA rodeo novels; she wants to keep her sister alive. Elf's latest suicide attempt is...well, bad timing: she is 3 weeks away from the opening of her 5-city tour. Can she be nursed back to "health" in time?
