A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews



Nomi Nicke is an articulate imaginative girl trapped in a repressive small-minded town. Her mother and sister have both vanished, and she and her devastatingly sweet, yet slightly delusion father both slowly spiral out of control. A popular award winner, written with wit and charm, though Nomi’s constant wit and charm grows boring after awhile. Awards: Young Adult Canadian Book Award (2005), Governor General’s Award (2004)
