Miriam Toews has written a new novel, set among the Old Colony Mennonites in Mexico. Irma Voth is a young single mother living in a trailer on the edge of the community, who encounters a film crew making a movie . . . a situation that grows out of Toews' own experience filming "Silent Light," the Cannes Award-Winning film by diretor Carlos Reygada.
