Finally.....After a long drought a book I can´t wait to go to bed to read .Home by Marilynne Robinson is a book that you read slowly and savour.This is not a new book.It´s by the author of Gilead and should probably be read before or after it.It´s a sad and thought provoking book with characters you can empathize with(finally..)It reminds me a bit of Plainsong by Kent Haruf.Small town America with a prodigal son.Great sense of place.I´ll be reading all of Marilynne´s other novels...

I in full agreement with you Deno ... Home & Gilead are both beautiful books and as you rightly say should be read slowly and savoured. You should also get your hands on "Housekeeping" also by Marilynne Robinson and a magnificent read.
