Claustrophobic and gripping

Synopsys:
A gripping story based on real events, in a mennonite community, called Molotschna. A group of women gather in a hay loft to discuss their future; for the horrible events that have taken place have been the last drop. Will they stay and fight or leave?
Mr. Epp is present to take the minutes and along with the meeting, you get to know his life. Both women and men are suffering in this story.

A fan of 'The handmaid's tale'? This is right up the same alley. The philosophical discussions and the portret of this community's life will challenge your own outlook on the role division between the sexes and the consequences. It is feminist in the way that these women are trying to seize the power in the moment to return to safety.

Though the start is a bit confusing because of the many names and family relations, it immediately immerses you into the claustrophobic life of a secluded extremely religious community. The story reads like a train: I read it in 2 evenings (it's only 218 pages).
I raged about the patriarchy, marvelled at the portraying of the several female strong characters and how the author brought the story in general. Philosophical and sometimes beautifully poetic.
