Women Talking: The Oscar-winning film starring Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley and Claire Foy - Softcover

Don't miss this one! This amazing, sad, shocking, but touching novel, based on a real-life event, could be right out of The Handmaid's Tale. Author: Margaret Atwood

Women Talking is an astonishment, a volcano of a novel with slowly and furiously mounting pressures of anguish and love and rage. No other book I've read in the past year has spoken so lucidly about our current moment, and yet none has felt as timeless; the always-wondrous Miriam Toews has written a book as close to a Greek tragedy as a contemporary Western novelist can come. Author: Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies

What a beautiful thing - thoughtful but red-blooded with a cast of powerful personalities, and every word from them so deeply felt. It's a considerable achievement to have written so sensitively and yet so compellingly about such brutal crimes. It's a novel for the times. Author: Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies

Miriam Toews has written a modern classic as real and warm and terrifying as a pail of fresh blood. It's a perfect work of artthat will leave you ill with awe. Author: Catherine Lacey, author of The Answers and Nobody is Ever Missing

Toews, who made her name with the wry autobiographical novel All My Puny Sorrows, knows how to extract humour from horror while still producing a work of resonance and power . . . Tender, enraging and brimming with a bitter wit. Author: Johanna Thomas-Corr Source: The Times

Brave and thoughtful . . . The improbable, almost magical result creates something redemptive from a subject that seems anything but. Source: Observer
