Maggi-Meg Reed
Hundreds of thousands were enthralled by the luminous voice of John Ames in Gilead, Marilynne Robinson's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Home is an entirely independent, deeply affecting novel that takes place concurrently in the same locale, this time in the household of Reverend Robert Boughton, Ames' closest friend.
Glory Boughton, aged 38, has returned to Gilead to care for her dying father. Soon her brother, Jack - the prodigal son of the family, gone for 20 years - comes home too, looking for refuge and trying to make peace with a past littered with tormenting trouble and pain.
Jack is one of the great characters in recent literature. A bad boy from childhood, an alcoholic who cannot hold a job, he is perpetually at odds with his surroundings and with his traditionalist father, though he remains Boughton's most beloved child. Brilliant, lovable, and wayward, Jack forges an intense bond with Glory and engages painfully with Ames, his godfather and namesake.
Home is a moving and healing book about families, family secrets, and the passing of the generations, about love and death and faith. It is Robinson's greatest work, an unforgettable embodiment of the deepest and most universal emotions.

Featured Article: The Best Audiobook Series of All Time by Genre
What makes a good audiobook series? There are as many answers to this question as there are listeners. For some, it might be epic battles. For others, it might be ongoing romantic twists and tensions. For still others, it might be elongated character studies or an in-depth analysis of a particular time and place. But the universal element of a truly great series is that it sticks with you long after the last word. These are our favorites from every major genre.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. A tedious book which is good for people who have too much time.What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The point of the book was supposed to have been racism, but the majority of the dialog was between two characters who constantly apologized for offending the other. While eventually we got what the subjects were that each was avoiding for fear of offending the other, there was nothing to give insight into why the author felt her characters developed as they did. The third main character was an extraordinarily aged old man who from the time line in the story should have been in his 70's, but the writing and reading made him seem about 100.Did Maggi-Meg Reed do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
The reader made a good effort to differentiate the characters, but she couldn't help the dialog. It dragged. It seemed every other word was sorry. She did read a dying old man well, but he was not interesting for it.Did Home inspire you to do anything?
Tell my book club, that the selection was a waste of time.Any additional comments?
This book was favored by the religious members of our group who raved about the Gilead trilogy. It must have had some redeeming value for them, and I do not think it was as literature.A book club selection waste of time.

Wish that I had read this one

The narrator of this book is good. It always takes me an hour or so to get accustomed to a new voice, so try to get over the initial hump and she becomes a convincing Glory. I did not like the characterization of Boughton the father, because his voice was a little annoying, but I suspect in real life I would have found his *real* voice annoying too.
Housekeeping was about sisterhood, Gilead is about fatherhood, Home is brotherhood. I am dying to see Marilynne Robinson talk about motherhood. I want to hear more about the stories of Della and her son Robert and Ames wife Lila and her son.
I cannot wait until Marilynne Robinson next book. I think she is one of the most gifted authors of contemporary American literature.
Marilynne Robinson does it again

The opening of the book took a while to develop, but I appreciated the hints at things to be revealed in more detail later. I still think that Gillead is the better novel, but Home is a moving and intriguing addition to the world Robinson has created.
I didn’t love the voice of the Reverend Boughton, at first. But the reader did a great job capturing the nuance of the text, and I was able to distinguish the characters easily.
I wouldn’t want to live in Gilead, Iowa, but have loved reading/listening about the lives of the clergy of that town, and these books have expanded my capacity for acceptance and kindness.
