Home // Marilynne Robinson [engelska]

”Home is a book full of doubleness and paradox, at once serene and volcanic”
A. O. Scott, The New York Times

”its last fifty pages are magnificently moving, and richly pondered”
James Wood, The New Yorker

A quiet family novel set in Gilead, Iowa, in the 1950s. Glory Boughton has come home to care for her dying father, a retired minister, and then her brother Jack arrives after twenty years away, a drinker and the family's lasting wound.

Marilynne Robinson is an American novelist who won the Pulitzer Prize for Gilead. Home is the second book in the Gilead sequence and won the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2009.

For readers who like slow novels about forgiveness and things left unsaid. What readers come back for is Jack, one of the most carefully drawn difficult men in American fiction.

Sold at Akademibokhandeln for 219 kr as a hardback edition.

”It is beautifully written, studded with vivid snapshots”
Frank Wilson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

”Robinson's prose soothes and calms, itself a balm”
Joan Frank, San Francisco Chronicle

”This book is simply beautiful and heartbreaking. I started getting emotional, tears started welling up on page 26, when I read this about a sister awaiting her prodigal brother's homecoming after twenty years of his absence.”
Schmacko, Goodreads
