New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
Is it 'even' POSSIBLE-- that this is one of the BEST FICTION BOOKS ever written about what HOME represents in our lives?/!!! -- the good- the bad- and the ugly? ( even those last three words don't really fit-but it communicates quickly for 'short-review' purposes). "HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS".....( not always)"YOU CAN NEVER RETURN HOME"....( sometimes you can)HOME....has a deep emotional meaning and our memories of....love, life, family opinions and feeling, anger, grief, regrets, betrayal, friendships, joy, religious beliefs, assumptions, forgiveness, judgments and prejudices, foods, books, gardening, secrets, sins, accomplishments, disappointments, finances, illness & hurts, blessings, sadness, on and on.... and it's ALL explored in "HOME". HOME also represents our success and failures with our PARENTS & SIBLINGS. HOME provides safety and comfort: ( not always for each family member)HOME is a way of understanding ourselves and the way the world is constructed around us. ( our egos, our spirituality, our knowledge, our awareness, our integrity, and humanity). In Marilynne Robinson's "HOME"...I was able to imagine myself being 'each' of the characters. I could imagine being Glory- the young woman who returns home to care for her father--( a temporary refuge from her own problems)--Or...Jack, the "wrongdoer" - pegged black sheep of the family --Or...PAPA...Reverend Boughton...sick, old, dying, a widower. These characters, and minor characters - become real people to us. The dialogue engages us. The writing is beautiful and brilliant and provokes 'looking-within'. A Wonderful book from which I drew strength!!! 5+++ stars! Ok... this got a little too long... out the door to walk!!!! I'm retired!!! Lol

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
A well-respected retired Presbyterian minister is old and in ill health in a small town in Iowa. He’s a widower with eight children - four boys, four girls. He ran a tight religious ship at home: regular church attendance, grace at every meal, no swearing, etc. Six of the kids ‘did well.’ They married, had kids of their own and are ‘successful.’ [Review below revised 4/14/23] Even their names say something about them. One daughter, Glory, thinks at some point to this effect: the boys were named after people (mostly Biblical – David, John, Luke); the girls after immaterial things: Faith, Hope, Grace and Glory. (Glory, apparently because Gloria sounded too southern-European; maybe too Catholic.)But it’s the two children who took other paths – the misfits – who are now living at home taking care of their father. The story centers on the few months or so when they are with their father as his health deteriorates. In the following, I’m not really giving away any plot – there isn’t much - and we pretty much know all the following near the beginning of the story. I hid a couple of things under spoilers but some SPOILERS remain. The woman, Glory, late thirties, is back after a long-term unsuccessful affair out of town. She led her family to believe she was married and that it didn’t work out. The son, Jack, a few years older than Glory, has bigger problems. Ever since he was a kid he was a semi-juvenile delinquent. He had a baby by a local woman out of wedlock. Now he’s an alcoholic and more-or-less a drifter. He may or may not have other women or other kids out of town. He steals and has been in prison, although he’s on his best behavior during the visit. He hasn’t been back home for twenty years, not even coming home for his mother’s funeral. Given the religious theme of …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
I don't think I have ever read a novel that so accurately describes the thoughts and actions and motivations of human beings. There was not one false note in this entire book. People acted in this book how they actually do in real life (at least in my experience). Their feelings of love and anger and self-hate were so acute, I often found myself relating to each character more than once. Maybe some of this comes from where I am emotionally right now—somewhere teetering between hope and devastation. I am struggling with these two emotions every day, every minute, as are more than one of the characters in this book. Characters who have had their dreams dashed or have never let themselves think they're worthy of having dreams. [I related so much to their feelings, I think I wept during the last 60 pages or so, sentimental cuss that I am.:]Love, too, finds a prominent place here. The love between a sister and a brother and a father and a son, both relationships I am quite familiar with. The disappointments, the pride, the desire to help, the desire to flee and hide. The book is written from the viewpoint of Glory, a woman in her late 30s who has returned to her childhood home after a collapsed engagement to care for her elderly father. She is hardworking, caring, but bitter. She feels as though she cannot escape her lot in life, and envies her siblings who all went off and started their own families. Except for her brother Jack, who disappeared 20 years ago and has suddenly returned home. Jack is aloof, sad, self-deprecating, lost, and confused. He was always the black sheep of the family—the preacher's son who became thief and miscreant. He is constantly haunted by his past actions and his sense of self-worthlessness. Every day is a struggle for him emotionally, and he is blind to see …

The narrator of Home is omniscient, although it is told from Glory's point of view; but the novel, like Glory, remains a little reserved, respecting Jack's privacy perhaps a bit too much.
One of the cleverest things about Home is its interplay with Gilead. In that novel, the honourable Ames admits that he is awed by Jack, whom he considers icy and uncomfortably perceptive.
Home reads like the obbligato beneath Gilead's descant: where Gilead is consoling, Home is almost frighteningly sad; where Gilead offers benediction, Home offers only valediction.
