It's a "Grateful for the Cult You Weren't Born Into" Mentality

"The eight women holed up in that loft, ranging in age from their midteens to their 70s, are able to meet only because the men of their community have traveled to the city. They intend to post bail for a group of young men accused of a horrific collective crime: the mass rape of women and children from the colony, going back several years, aided by the use of an animal tranquilizer as a kind of low-tech Rohypnol. These nightmarish acts actually did take place in an isolated religious community in Bolivia between 2005 and 2009. It was reading about that case and recalling her own Mennonite childhood that moved Toews to write the novel."
