Lila by Marilynne Robinson

I Love Iowa

And I loved this book. Normally I'm not a fan of unusual prose, or when writers take too many liberties with time manipulation. However, everything about this book was so seamless and pleasant to read. I especially loved the descriptions of countryside. And, in a very odd way, there was this unusual pagan/Christian juxtaposition that also drew me in.

I would not recommend this novel to your average reader. It takes a special reader to love this kind of story.
