This book is a heart breaker, as Elf, the sister that “has everything” simply wants to end her life and Yoli, whose life is “in shambles” does everything to help save her. My Review: 5 starsīeautiful, honest, raw, haunting, heavy and sometimes comical words fill the pages of this tragic story of two sisters from a Mennonite family in Canada. After Elf’s latest attempt, Yoli must quickly determine how to keep her family from falling apart, how to keep her own heart from breaking, and what it means to love someone who wants to die.
While on the surface Elfrieda’s life is enviable (she’s a world-renowned pianist, glamorous, wealthy, and happily married) and Yolandi’s a mess (she’s divorced and broke, with two teenagers growing up too quickly), they are fiercely close - raised in a Mennonite household and sharing the hardship of Elf’s desire to end her life. All My Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews– 317 pages Book Blurb:Įlf and Yoli are sisters.
