Commentary Supposing Books All My Puny Sorrows

Miriam Toews is beloved for her irresistible voice, for mingling laughter and heartwrenching poignancy like no other writer. In her most passionate novel yet, she brings us the riveting story of two sisters, and a love that illuminates life.

You won’t forget Elf and Yoli, two smart and loving sisters. Elfrieda, a world-renowned pianist, glamorous, wealthy, happily married: she wants to die. Yolandi, divorced, broke, sleeping with the wrong men as she tries to find true love: she desperately wants to keep her older sister alive. Yoli is a beguiling mess, wickedly funny even as she stumbles through life struggling to keep her teenage kids and mother happy, her exes from hating her, her sister from killing herself and her own heart from breaking.

But Elf’s latest suicide attempt is a shock: she is three weeks away from the opening of her highly anticipated international tour. Her long-time agent has been calling and neither Yoli nor Elf’s loving husband knows what to tell him. Can she be nursed back to “health” in time? Does it matter? As the situation becomes ever more complicated, Yoli faces the most terrifying decision of her life.

All My Puny Sorrows, at once tender and unquiet, offers a profound reflection on the limits of love, and the sometimes unimaginable challenges we experience when childhood becomes a new country of adult commitments and responsibilities. In her beautifully rendered new novel, Miriam Toews gives us a startling demonstration of how to carry on with hope and love and the business of living even when grief loads the heart.

Evaluation Out Of Books All My Puny Sorrows

Miriam has become a friend, so I will have to file this under an appreciation rather than an impartial review, but I admired her work long before I met her. She has an inimitable voice that is wise and funny and always unflinching. Ive seen her described as the queen of voice but I think the queen of heart is more accurate. In spite of terrible loss in her own family, she has a furious and abiding love of life that is apparent in every word she writes.This is a book I would have liked to devour

All My Puny Sorrows is a beautiful book that I had almost no emotional reaction to: a fact that sort of surprised me (I had been assured so many times that this book would destroy me) and sort of did not surprise me (this seems reflective of the rut I have been in lately with my reading).  I don't know if it was a wrong book/wrong time situation or if it's indicative of something that was actually missing from the book, but I wanted more from this than it gave me, simply put.  Side bar: it does

Beautifully told. This is a heartfelt, touching story. Every page tells a loving story of a wonderful relationship between two close, loving sisters. Their love for each other shines through always. They each wanted only what was best for the other. The agonizing decision comes when deciding what "the best" means and how to define it in a meaningful, caring, understanding way. Miriam Toews has such grace and stamina. Her love and sorrow for her sister is always present and never once does she

The story of sisters and one family's struggles with suicide, this book confirms what I already knew from reading Women Talking, that Toews can really write. It's devastating and hilarious in turns.

Miriam Toews, wow, what rock was I hiding under? She took me by the hand and held me tight through this amazing tale of love and grief. I laughed and cried my eyes out.

miriam toews is one of my most favourite writers, and this new novel is fantastic. FANTASTIC! while we are in familiar territory - a mennonite family not quite doing the mennonite thing 'right', according to their small mennonite town; two sisters who want out/better; parents who are present but elsewhere sometimes - toews is just such a great storyteller. her characters are so real, and funny, quirky, and flawed. her story is full of life and full of heartbreak. the messy and the difficult can

I have read a lot of positive reviews and comments about Miriam Toews novels but until now have not read any of them. I now understand why so many people are impressed by her writing. I cant put my finger on only one or two specific reasons that make her writing special. In All My Puny Sorrows I felt that it was a unique blend of many things that makes her writing exceptional. The fact that Toews has a wide following both within her home country of Canada and around the world demonstrates how
