The Wittenbergs

by Sarah Klassen

tagged: literary
Description

Things are not well with the Wittenbergs. Alice has given birth to her second child with a genetic disorder. Millicent has withdrawn into a depression. Joseph has to choose between being principal of George Sutton Collegiate and the new English teacher. And Mia finds herself at the mercy of an unsympathetic teacher while the attractive athletic neighbour ignores her. Only the oldest Wittenberg, the matriarch who holds the key to the family's Mennonite past, can lead the Wittenbergs along the Dnieper River and toward a better tomorrow.

Editorial Review

What a marvel of a character Sarah Klassen has created in Mia Wittenberg, an open-hearted teenager who holds a troubled family's past and present in her steady gaze.

-Joan Thomas, author of Curiosity
