Résumé : "Sweeter than all the world is an enthralling saga of the Mennonite people and one man's emotional voyage into his own heritage. At the heart of the novel is Adam Wiebe, born to a homesteading prairie community. Love and success come easily to him until, faced with the collapse of his marriage and the disappearance of his daughter, he becomes obsessed with understanding his ancestral past." That past comes brilliantly alive as the story of the Mennonites weaves in and out of Adam's own: we are drawn into the great events of four centuries, from the horrors of the Reformation to the Red Army's advance into Germany at the close of World War II. Ambitious in its historical sweep, tender and humane, Sweeter than all the World sets one man's quest for family and love against generations of turmoil, laying bare the complexities of desire, faith and human frailty."
