ruthieduthie 's review for:
Lila
by Marilynne Robinson
This is a rare novel, that weaves in and out of the lives of Lila and The Reverend (some of which the reader of Gilead and Home will know), reflecting on the meaning of existence, goodness and God. They don't come much deeper than that, but it still has a homespun feel to it, as Lila, being largely uneducated, has a plain-spoken way of expressing herself, as against that of the Reverend, with his many years of theological contemplation. Their meeting place is literally their marriage, which also seems to have a figurative significance. Think Old Testament prophets, seen in the light of the New Testament.
Like Gilead and Home, this book will bear re-reading many times.
