(A Memoir of Going Home)
Reader: Gwyn
Rhoda Janzen was raised a Mennonite. As soon as she could, she left that lifestyle behind, and went out to the world. When events in her life took a turn for the worse at the age of 40 years, she returned to her family looking for solace and support.
Janzen is a witty writer, with a delightful cynicism that made this a fun, easy book to read. Her descriptions of life with her quirky family actually did make me laugh out loud more than once. Of course, a memoir would not have made it to the presses if it did not include some self-realization and personal growth. This book provided that as well.
I recommend this book to anyone needing a chuckle at the expense of someone else's family.
