Reviews
"Miriam Toews, the award winning Canadian author, embodies Nomi''s voice with such an authentic and manic charm that it''s hard not to fall in love with her... A Complicated Kindness captures the struggles of a family and its individuals ina fresh, wondrous style. Despite this complexity of family tensions, much of A Complicated Kindness is pleasantly plotless. The looseness of Nomi''s worldview, the sometimes blurry nonfocus of it, the unexpected sideways humor, make this book thebeautiful and bitter little masterpiece it is." The Believer "Poignant....Bold, tender and intelligent, this is a clear-eyed exploration of belief and belonging, and the irresistible urge to escape both." Publishers Weekly "Wise, edgy, unforgettable, the heroine of Miriam Toews's knockout novel is Canada's next classic." Globe and Mail Books section cover " A Complicated Kindness is just that: funny and strange, spellbinding and heartbreaking, this novel is a complicated kindness from a terrifically talented writer." Gail Anderson-Dargatz "Why the compulsion to laugh so often and so heartily when reading A Complicated Kindness ? That''s the book''s mystery and its miracle. Has any of our novelists ever married, so brilliantly, the funny and I mean posture-damaging, shoulder-heaving, threaten- the- grip- of- gravity- on- recently- ingested- food brand of funny and the desperately sad that would be the three-ply- tissue, insufficient- to- the- day, who- knew- I- had- this- much- snot- in- me brand of sad? I don''t think so." The Globe and Mail "Truly wonderful.... A Complicated Kindness is...one of the year''s exuberant reads. Toews recreates the stultifying world of an exasperated Mennonite teenager in a small town where nothing happens with mesmerizing authenticity. . . . Toews seduces the reader with her tenderness, astute observation and piquant humour. But then she turns the laughs she's engendered in the reader like a knife." Toronto Star "Right away we're hooked on our narrator's [Nomi's] mournful smarts.... A Complicated Kindness is affecting, impeccably written, and has real authority, but most of all it is immediate. You as they say are there....like waking up in a crazy Bible camp, or witnessing an adolescent tour guide tear off her uniform and make a break for the highway." Quill & Quire "...knockout novel. ...There's leave-taking in this book. But there's wholeness, too. It is a joy." Jennifer Wells, Toronto Star "Now comes A Complicated Kindness , in which Toews' deft hand combines aspects of her previous subjects love, small-town politics, rigid religious parameters, depression, and comes up with something completely new." Leslie Beaton Hedley, Calgary Herald " A Complicated Kindness struck me like a blow to the solar plexus. Toews, somewhat like Mordecai Richler, makes you feel the pain of her protagonist while elucidating the predicament of her people, always mixing a large dose of empathy with her iconoclastic sense of the ridiculous. When she's funny, she's wickedly so. But the book has a dark, disturbing side to it that grows stronger as the story progresses." Pat Donnelly, The Gazette (Montreal) "In novel full of original characters...Toews has created a feisty but appealing young heroine.... As an indictument against religious fundamentalism, A Complicated Kindness is timely. As a commentary on character it is fresh and inventive, and as storytelling it is first rate., "Miriam Toews, the award winning Canadian author, embodies Nomi's voice with such an authentic and manic charm that it's hard not to fall in love with her...
