Women Talking is a powerful literary novel based on real events in a remote Mennonite colony, where a group of women gather in secret to decide what they must do after years of violence and abuse are finally exposed.

Told through the minutes of their discussion, the novel becomes a tense, philosophical, and deeply humane exploration of faith, autonomy, justice, forgiveness, and survival. The women must choose whether to stay, fight, or leave the only world they have ever known.
