The internationally bestselling author of Women Talking and All My Puny Sorrows, returns with a singular memoir celebrating disobedient memory, wit, writing and life.
A Truce That Is Not Peace is the first time Toews has written about her own life in nonfiction. Wildly inventive yet masterfully controlled; wrenching and joyful – this is Miriam Toews at her dazzling best, remaking her world and inventing an astonishing new literary form to contain it.
Miriam Toews will be one of the Canadian authors participating in this year’s edition of the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
