Lila by Marilynne Robinson

4.0

---

lila's beautiful, like the other two books, but it left me feeling like i was never understanding the true nature of any of the events being told. it feels incomplete to me sometimes, like i could never dig deep enough, but it makes sense in the context of who and what the book is about, which makes it feel alright, like that's just the way it is. lila didn't really know anything, and the old man never really knew anything either, despite how different their pasts were, and that's just how strange existence is...

this doesn't make any sense but read the book anyways.
