Featuring original music by Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon! It's 2003 and Romy Hall is at the start of two consecutive life sentences at Stanville Women's Correctional Facility, deep in California's Central Valley. Outside is the world from which she has been severed: the San Francisco of her youth and her young son, Jackson. Inside is a new reality: thousands of women hustling for the essentials needed to survive; the bluffing and pageantry and acts of violence by guards and prisoners alike; and the absurdities of institutional living, which Kushner evokes with great humor and precision.

Greer Kadetsky is a shy college freshman when she meets the woman she hopes will change her life. Faith Frank, dazzlingly persuasive and elegant at sixty-three, has been a central pillar of the women's movement for decades, a figure who inspires others to influence the world. Upon hearing Faith speak for the first time, Greer--madly in love with her boyfriend, Cory, but still full of longing for an ambition that she can't quite place--feels her inner world light up. And then, astonishingly, Faith invites Greer to make something out of that sense of purpose, leading Greer down the most exciting path of her life as it winds toward and away from her meant-to-be love story with Cory and the future she'd always imagined.

In my opinion, not Toews best.

Would you try another book from Miriam Toews and/or Erin Moon?

I love Miriam Toews and I love Erin Moon but Irma was too immature for me to "get." But since Moon's reading of Toews' All My Puny Sorrows was one of my favorite books, I'll be back for more. Of course, I don't really know what girls and women from Mennonite families sound like but Erin Moon adds to the sympathetic look that Toews provides and until Irma in this third book that I've listened to, I was really engaged by each character to whom I was introduced.

Getting it right.

So much about this book gets it right. Miriam Toews speaks my language. She's one of those writers that says it the way folks are thinking and feeling it without knowing it until she articulates it for them and they go, "ya!" "No kidding!" "Ah...." The audiobook is great in many ways but...Menno Simons is pronounced like the first name Simon not Simmons and low German is pronounced with the accent on the low not the 'ger' in German. When reading a book all about a certain culture it seems important to get it right!

Emotional to the core

Brilliant writing! Unforgettably intense. Could not stop listening. So enveloped in the story, you want to know how it continues.
