A review by aoyenhi
Home by Marilynne Robinson
4.0
did NOT think i would be underlining every other page of this very white christian novel but here we are. it was utterly miserable and so much more bleak than it seems to let on. at the same time i liked it more than gilead, i think i appreciate the messages being conveyed in gilead more than i did in home.
also…lots of reviews ive read said this was super boring and i can’t disagree but also i want to add that i just wasn’t bored. i don’t even know how i wasn’t bc i have horrible attention span. but marilynne robinson would be like (beautifully) “glory made breakfast without realizing it was 3 in the morning. jack laughed at her” and i’d just be like oh my fucking god i simply have to keep reading i need to know more
