Home: A Novel by Marilynne Robinson

Marilynne Robinson’s mournful new novel, “Home,” is not a sequel or a prequel to her Pulitzer Prize-winning “Gilead” (2004) but rather a companion. And companionship, it turns out, is what all the lonely people in this book are seeking. Set in the same Iowa town, just a short distance from Rev. John Ames, the dying narrator of “Gilead,” the events in “Home” take place concurrently with those of that other novel. This time, however, we’re in the house of Rev. Robert Boughton, Ames’ longtime friend, who’s equally close to putting on “imperishability.”
