Lila
by Marilynne Robinson
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, US$26.00
Published Oct. 7, 2014
The Book We're Talking About is a weekly review combining plot description and analysis with fun tidbits about the book.
What we think:
A poetic, bittersweet meditation on faith, family, and belonging, Lila embraces the depths of human doubt and misery while uncovering hope through the power of grace.
Marilynne Robinson’s latest novel is dedicated simply, and perfectly, “To Iowa.” She lives in Iowa, where she teaches at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and the new book, Lila, is the third of her novels she’s set in the small fictional town of Gilead, Iowa. The land has been rich literary terrain for her; Robinson even remarked recently that “Gilead voices are still simmering” in her mind: “If one of them demands its book, I may well write it.”
