Reseña: Abandoned by a succession of relatives orphaned sisters Ruthie and Lucille find themselves in the care of their eccentric aunt Sylvie in their rural home town in Idaho. Ruthie narrates the sisters story as Lucille moves out into the world and Ruth falls further back into her own familys dark past. Against the stunning backdrop of a bleak wintery landscape in a small desolate town Marilynne Robinsons first novel is a powerful portrayal of loss loneliness and the struggle towards adulthood. In an interview in the Guardian in 2009 after winning the Orange Prize Marilynne Robinson said It seems to me that the small drama of conversation and thought and reflection that is so much more individual so much less cliched than - I mean when people set out on an adventure I think 90 times out of 100 theyve read about it in a brochure. Thats not the part of life that interests me.
