Marilynne Robinson turns her extraordinarily beautiful prose to bear on the Reverend John Ames' second wife, Lila. Something of a prequel to 'Gilead,' 'Lila' fills in the gaps and opens the door into the past of Lila Dahl.
If 'Gilead' was concerned with reflections on a life filled with and lived by grace and if 'Home' wrestled with questions about whether it's possible to reject or accept grace, then 'Lila' is the story of one who encounters grace late in life after a very grace-less life and is slowly transformed by it.
As always, Marilynne Robinson is moving, profound, and beautiful in her writing. If you loved 'Gilead' and 'Home,' you'll love this as well.
