The True Story Of Bonnie And Clyde Is Stranger Than FictionĮlements of the book come from the shocking Bolivian crimes that made international headlines in 2011, according to the BBC. "The options they're considering are to stay and fight, to leave and to do nothing." "There are eight women, two families, different generations, teenagers and then their mothers and their grandmothers, and all of the women have been attacked, have been raped, including the young children of the women there, and they have two days, 48 hours, to figure out what to do," Toews, who was raised Mennonite herself, told National Public Radio during a 2019 interview about the book. Tragically, the novel itself is loosely inspired by a true crime story in Bolivia. The book follows eight Mennonite women who meet secretly in order to discuss what the next steps will be after discovering that men in their colony were regularly drugging and raping them. The film from Sarah Polley is based on the 2018 novel “Women Talking” by Canadian novelist Miriam Toews, Time reports. The film “Women Talking" is a remarkable and disturbing tale about women in an isolated religious colony who are faced with a crisis of faith after multiple sexual assaults occur in their community.
