Lila, homeless & alone after years of roaming the countryside, steps inside a small-town Iowa church-the only available shelter from the rain-and ignites a romance & a debate that will reshape her life. She becomes the wife of a minister & widower, John Ames, & begins a new existence while trying to make sense of the days of suffering that preceded her newfound security. Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, & brought up by her in a hardscrabble childhood of itinerant work. Together they crafted a life on the run, living h&-to-mouth with nothing but their sisterly bond & a lucky knife to protect them. But despite bouts of petty violence & moments of desperation, their shared life is laced with moments of joy & love. When Lila arrives in Gilead, she struggles to harmonize the life of her makeshift family & their days of hardship with the gentle worldview of her husband which paradoxically judges those she loves. Revisiting the beloved characters & setting of Marilynne Robinson`s Pulitzer Prize-winning Gilead & Orange Prize-winning Home, Lila is a moving expression of the mysteries of existence. ...
