Mennonites don't dance

A Danuta Gleed finalist and shortlisted for the Commonwealth Prize, this collection of short stories breaks through the surface of authoritarian religion and families, and into the lives of the women and children often trapped within its constraints.

Set on the Canadian prairies, one story follows a young girl into a labyrinth of frozen meat lockers where she becomes trapped by more than just the ice. In another, the difference between suicide and murder is in the eye of the beholder. Threaded with moments of both dark humour and unexpected grace, this new edition of Mennonites Don’t Dance also contains an additional story, not included in the original collection.
