Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award
Lila, homeless and alone after years of roaming the countryside, steps inside a small-town Iowa church - the only available shelter from the rain - and ignites a romance and a debate that will reshape her life.
Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, and together they crafted a life on the run, living hand-to-mouth with nothing but a lucky knife to protect them. But despite bouts of petty violence and moments of desperation, their shared life is laced with moments of joy and love. When Lila arrives in Gilead, she struggles to harmonize the life of her makeshift family with the gentle worldview of her husband which paradoxically judges those she loves.
'Her questioning books express wonder: they are enlightening, in the best sense, passionately contesting our facile, recycled understanding of ourselves and of our world' Sarah Churchwell, Guardian
'Lila is the work of an exceptional novelist at the peak of her capacity' Rowan Williams, New Statesman
'A sumptuous, graceful, and ultimately life-affirming novel' James Kidd, Independent on Sunday
'Robinson brings [the story] to pulsating life in prose of great and luminous beauty . . . a book that leaves the reader feeling what can only be called exaltation' Neel Mukherjee, Independent
