Nomi Nickel is the narrator of Miriam Toews' new novel A Complicated Kindness. Her mother and her sister have both left the family, separately and without warning at the start of Toews' account of the life of an angsty 16 year old girl growing up in a Mennonite community. Why her mother and her sister have left becomes more clear as the novel goes on, and the lifestyle of the Mennonite community is described and decried in a way that only a rebellious teenager could.
