"Remarkable . . . an even stronger accomplishment than Gilead." –Claire Messud, The New York Review of Books
"An exquisite, often ruefully funny meditation on redemption." –
Megan O'Grady, Vogue "An anguished pastoral, a tableau of decency and compassion that is also an angry and devastating indictment of moral cowardice and unrepentant, unacknowledged sin. . . . . Beautiful." –
A. O. Scott, The New York Times Book Review "Rich and resonant . . .
Gilead and
Home fit with and around each other perfectly, each complete on its own, yet enriching and enlivening the other. But both are books of such beauty and power." –
Emily Barton, Los Angeles Times "Marilynne Robinson is so powerful a writer that she can reshape how we read." –
Mark Athitakis, Chicago Sun-Times "
Home begins simply, eschewing obvious verbal fineness, and slowly grows in luxury–its last fifty pages are magnificently moving. . . . Powerful." –
James Wood, The New Yorker "When Marilynne Robinson writes a new book, it's an event." –
Pat MacEnulty, Charlotte Observer
