In
Lila, Robinson captures the title character’s ruminations on existence to
perfection. Lila is a marginalized woman who has spent her life in hiding
until she marries the minister of the town of Gilead. Those familiar with
Robinson’s previous works will enjoy seeing the town of Gilead through an
outsider’s eyes. Lila doesn’t necessarily answer the big questions about love
or happiness, solitude or salvation, poverty or prosperity, but simply asking
them sets this novel firmly into the spiritual realm.
