Lila
by Marilynne Robinson
This is going to sound dramatic - but my heart aches for Lila. You can just see the plumes of loneliness coming from this woman. You can ache from it, just like Lila did.
This novel finally tells us Lila's story - the wife of John Ames from the first book in this series, Gilead. We only got glimpses of Lila in the first novel and here we take in big gulps of her. We inhabit her loneliness and sorrow. And then, begin to feel her hope.
This has to be the most dramatic little blurb I've ever written! But this book was so amazing. I'm reading the series a little out of order (still need to read the second one), but I think that's okay. I can't wait to read more by this author!
