As for the book... I wasn't too impressed with it, actually. Not a bad novel, but I thought it read like one long slightly unfocused sermon, and I kept shifting in my pew and waiting for the amen. The subplots about the war and about the young family friend were well done, and Robinson is a fine stylist, but on a whole the novel left me pretty unmoved.

Same here for
Home, nearly exactly my thought, specialy about the sermon and the brother apologizing for being alive 5 times every pages.
Well done, beautifull, plenty of atmospheres and interesting relfexion about religion and such(No meddle ages but the bibble Liam) but like Bjorn unmoved.
In comparaison
Larry Brown with father and son was much more intense for me.
