I saw this book reviewed by Gina over at 'Home Joys' and thought that it looked interesting. It is short essays written by Amish and Mennonite women but the themes are universal, grief, hospitality, wonder etc.
All the essays are grouped into thematic sections but the writing within them is all unique with each woman having a clear voice. The writing is very strong and in fact I shall use a quote from one piece for my next university essay !
I was left wanting to know more about each author and was glad that there was a little biography and further details about each one at the back of the book.
I enjoyed this book and was glad that I was able to get it for free using my earnings from YouGov surveys !
