Welcome to Litsy!

I'm reading this one, courtesy of #NetGalley and #BloomsburyUSA, and so far I'm really excited about this book. It bounces between 1999 and 2019, telling the story of a woman, Joy, whose rehashing the murder of her college roommate, Karlie. Joy is recently divorced after a horrible miscarriage. She's plagued by the memories of Karlie and she feels certain that the man arrested is innocent. Joy goes on a journey to find the truth. So far, so good!

8 Mennonite women from the Molotschna colony gathered to have a secret meeting to decide whether to stay & fight, stay and do nothing, or leave after what had happened. Minutes were taken by the narrator of the story, August Epp. I had a hard time getting into the story & characters, and desperately wanted to, especially when this is based on true events. I guess the writing style used to approach the subject matter, just isn‘t for me. ⬇️
