Book of the Month

Every now and then we encounter a new book that we’re so excited about we want to shout it from the rooftops, so we've created a special tag to distinguish it from the rest: Tattered Cover Book of the Month (formerly called Tattered Cover V.I.B.)!  

Our latest selection is:

Women Talking by Miriam Toews

This book is PHENOMENAL. It is painfully real and thought-provoking. Toews does a great job of preserving the horrific details of the real-life “Ghost Rapes” that occurred in a Mennonite colony in Bolivia, while also spinning a vibrant fictional dialogue between the women who survived these attacks and what they will do next. Though the story truly is “just women talking,” each character has her own distinct voice and follows her own journey of perspective as they discuss the nature of faith, forgiveness, safety, and freedom. This book manages to be both heart-wrenching and inspiring, all for the characters Toews creates and what they’ve endured. —Eileen Silverthorn, Historic LoDo bookseller
