Book 20 (2013) Mennonites Don't Dance**** by Darcie Friesen Hossack

Hossack is a short story writer compared to Alice Munro and I can see why.   The stories are about harsh experiences and are upsetting and haunting.  The Mennonite aspect is low key, mostly background, but is also the foundation for how the characters deal with life.  My own experience with the Mennonite life is not so uncompromisingly serious and soul-killing, but enough so I do understand.  Not an uplifting book, but the writing and stories are breathtaking.
