They are beautiful and part of their beauty is their deliberate slowness and development of internal lives of the characters. Housekeeping is a stand alone novel. Gilead and Home will set up the world of Lila. I can't wait to read it. Robinson is a superlative writer and has explored the world of faith but also the world of the pioneer on the edge of civilisation in the American West. Read it when you have time to savour it.(less)
