À propos de cet audio

Hundreds of thousands were enthralled by the luminous voice of John Ames in Gilead, Marilynne Robinson's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Home is an entirely independent, deeply affecting novel that takes place concurrently in the same locale, this time in the household of Reverend Robert Boughton, Ames' closest friend.

Glory Boughton, aged 38, has returned to Gilead to care for her dying father. Soon her brother, Jack - the prodigal son of the family, gone for 20 years - comes home too, looking for refuge and trying to make peace with a past littered with tormenting trouble and pain.

Jack is one of the great characters in recent literature. A bad boy from childhood, an alcoholic who cannot hold a job, he is perpetually at odds with his surroundings and with his traditionalist father, though he remains Boughton's most beloved child. Brilliant, lovable, and wayward, Jack forges an intense bond with Glory and engages painfully with Ames, his godfather and namesake.

Home is a moving and healing book about families, family secrets, and the passing of the generations, about love and death and faith. It is Robinson's greatest work, an unforgettable embodiment of the deepest and most universal emotions.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Robinson's beautiful new novel, a companion piece to her Pulitzer Prize - winning Gilead, is an elegant variation on the parable of the prodigal son's return." ( Publishers Weekly)

I love everything that Robinson writes and I wanted very much to hear Home read aloud. But the reader must have a very different opinion of Robinson than I do. The characters' voices were fine. In fact, the father's voice was well done. But the tone she adopted for the narrator was smirking, as though we were encouraged to dislike all the characters in the book. I could only get through the Audible version by increasing the speed to 1.5x. That removed most of the tone of weary disdain that infected the narrative descriptions.

Terrific novel, badly read

Narration too hard to listen to. Couldn't finish the book. This has never happened before to me. Her voice and tone did not match the story in my opinion.

Did not enjoy the narration
