A review by quakerquixote
Reading Genesis by Marilynne Robinson

hopeful reflective

3.5

I find this book hard to assess. I don't think Robinson is at the height of her powers, and the meandering, sometimes unfocused nature of this book would seem to corroborate that. But she does have insights here, and I found her reading of the story of Abraham to the beginning of the story of Joseph to be quite compelling. But the insights exist alongside flaws of repetition, too much summary, and Robinson self-assuredness.
