Epp's important nov…el EINE MUTTER promises to take its place alongside other important contributions to Mennonite literature and historiography made in recent years. As Mennonite writers continue to develop a Mennonite literary tradition, Mennonite scholars and translators like Peter Pauls help strengthen it by reclaiming through translation the major works of the past that helped establish that tradition. No other Mennonite novel gives as authentic and comprehensive a picture of life "bei uns im alten Russland" as this one. This is a book that describes life as it was in the Russian Mennonite Colonies before it was forever destroyed by two revolutions, one industrial and the other political. Through the recollections of an eighty-year-old woman, the author re-creates an idyllic, serene world that is increasingly threatened by social upheaval and violence. Epp's little mother survives the disasters that befall her family with grim determination, devotion, and faith.".
