Review of 'Irma Voth' on 'Goodreads'

This novel contains elements that are certainly classic Toews: a strong female protagonist who faces horrific circumstances, including homelessness, responsibility for younger children, etc. However, for me, the characters lacked the quirky charm that typically endears them to me.

Still, it's a good read with plenty of page turning suspense.
