Together they crafted a life on the run, existing hand to mouth with nothing but their sisterly bond and a ragged blade to protect them. Despite bouts of petty violence and moments of desperation, the times they shared were laced with joy. After Lila arrives in Gilead, she struggles to harmonize the life of her makeshift family and their days of hardship with her husband's gentle Christian worldview, which paradoxically judges those she loves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRevisiting the beloved characters and setting of Marilynne Robinson’s Pulitzer Prize–winning \u003cem\u003eGilead\u003c\/em\u003e and and Orange Prize–winning \u003cem\u003eHome, Lila\u003c\/em\u003e is a moving expression of the mysteries of existence that is destined to become a classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marilynne Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":48333838713054,"sku":"9781443465991","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/4567\/6440\/files\/BNCImageAPI_7e5b1930-abe7-4843-99fb-15f40fbc2ed6.jpg?v=1781320245","url":"https:\/\/paragraphbooks.com\/fr\/products\/9781443465991","provider":"Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
