lauram1208 's review for:
Lila
by Marilynne Robinson
Not a book I would typically choose, the main character Lila has a very harsh life and although the story could easily be depressing, it is not. Lila has an understated dignity and strength that she is unaware of, an inner beauty that 'the pastor' sees, loves and cherishes. It is one of those rare books where as I near the end I loathe for it TO end. If I were reading, rather than listening to it I am sure when I closed the cover for the last time I would do so quietly, almost reverently, passing my hand over it in a quiet salutation.
