Description: In 2005, Marilynne Robinson's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Gilead introduced thousands of enthralled readers to the luminous voice of protagonist John Ames. Now, Robinson's companion novel to Gilead, Home, transpires concurrently in the same locale and the home of Ames' closest friend, in a moving work about families, family secrets, and the passing of generations. Robinson will read from her hauntingly beautiful new novel, a moving meditation on family and forgiveness, and answer audience questions.
Her novel, Housekeeping, is part of the S.B. Reads public library community reading program.
