Fiction: The Flying Troutmans, by Miriam Toews

A roadtrip novel! You KNOW how I feel about roadtrips, right? (PRO.) I also bought this book while on a road trip!

Just as with her earlier novel “A Complicated Kindness” (at least I think it was earlier. It was earlier for me!), this book is full of really quirky and quirkily strong characters. Unusual, unexpected, unpretentious.

Fun but sometimes exasperating and sometimes worry-inducing. The frustrations of family.

Although: when I read the blurb in the back about another book of hers “Summer of My Amazing Luck” the plot seems eerily similar to this one. (And by eerily I don’t mean eerie, I mean, is she writing the same book again?)
