I love the way Miriam Toews writes. A Complicated Kindness was so engrossing and lyrical that I couldn't put it down. Her Swing Low: A Life was equally engaging. Irma Voth, although enjoyable, was not of the same caliber. Some of the characters' actions and motivations were not quite believable. Nevertheless, if you haven't read this author's works, do yourself a favor and do so.
