Über diesen Titel
Banished to a neighbouring farm for the sin of marrying a non-Mennonite Mexican, Irma Voth lives apart from the other Mennonites in her colony. Her new husband soon abandons her, and her only reprieve from isolation comes from the occasional secret visits of her younger sister Aggie and the little gifts sent by her mother. But change comes when a film crew from Mexico City moves into the empty house next to Irma's to make a film about Mennonites. Irma is hired on as translator and cook, and her involvement with the bohemian film crew sets her on a path that will push her into dangerous conflict with her strict, religious father, and out into the unfamiliar, exotic world of the big city.
Brimming with Toews's dazzling wit, Irma Voth tells the story of a young woman's turbulent journey towards self-discovery. It's a book that will grab you from the first page, and won't let go even after the last.
Kritikerstimmen
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Winner of the Writers' Trust Engel/Findley Award
"Funny, ribald and heartbreaking."
—The Globe and Mail
“Toews . . . is clearly an artistic powerhouse. . . . In this compelling and beautiful novel, Toews’s quirky and authentic voice shows increasing range and maturity. She is well on her way to fulfilling her promise as an important and serious writer.”
—The Gazette
“There is something quite mesmerizing about Toews’s prose. It’s to do with the rhythm of her language, with the seeming effortlessness of it and, when combined with her quick, offhand wit, it can enliven even the darkest of moments.”
—Toronto Star
“Toews’s ability to generate comedy and heartache at the same time just soars.”
—Maclean’s
“Irma Voth is wryly funny and perceptive.”
—National Post
“It is beautiful, strange, and fascinating, and readers wise enough to trust in the author’s sure hand will be rewarded with a novel that takes them someplace altogether unexpected.”
—Kerry Clare, Quill & Quire
“A beautiful, heartbreaking novel. . . . Calls to mind Ann-Marie MacDonald’s 1996 epic, Fall On Your Knees.”
—Winnipeg Free Press
“A stunning culture clash between the Mennonite and art communities. . . . The internal conflict over when to reveal hard information, in life or in art, is one of Toews’s key themes. A sequence about how it feels to tell the truth is a knockout.”
—NOW (Toronto)
“[By the] outrageously original premise alone, Miriam Toews should have you. Next, by her dialogue, then by her setting and, finally, by her style. . . . Toews imbues Irma with a naïve
but unsentimental voice, a crucial distinction that makes the character believable, admirable and irresistibly lovable. . . . A deliciously rapid read.”
—The Chronicle Herald
“Miriam Toews has a remarkably light touch. She combines a playfully sardonic humour with crushing pathos.”
—Times Literary Supplement
"The story’s heavy emotional content is intensified by the cruel humour of Irma’s world. . . . An engaging, deceptively simple tragicomedy of considerable emotional heft. . . . Toews never loses focus on the core of her story: one girl’s authentic effort to understand her family and her
self.”
