When I Was A Child I Read Books
From the author of the magnificent, award-winning novels GILEAD, HOME and LILA comes this wonderful, heart-warming collection of essays about reading. 'Grace and intelligence ...[her work] defines universal truths about what it means to be human' Barack Obama Marilynne Robinson is not only a writer of sharp, subtly moving fiction, but also a rigorous thinker and incisive essayist. In this luminous collection she returns to the themes which have preoccupied her bestselling novels: the place literature has in life, the role of faith in modern living, the contradictions inherent in human nature. Clear-eyed and forceful as ever, Robinson demonstrates once again why she is regarded as one of our best-loved writers.

A teenager rebels against her school’s book bans in this thoughtful, funny novel: “Engrossing . . . a timely read that will ultimately prove timeless.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Clara Evans is horrified when she discovers her principal’s “prohibited media” hit list. The iconic books on the list have been pulled from the library and aren’t allowed anywhere on the school’s premises. Students caught with the contraband will be punished. Many of these books have changed Clara’s life, so she’s not going to sit back and watch while her draconian principal abuses his power. She’s going to strike back. So Clara starts an underground library in her locker, doing a shady trade in titles like Speak and The Chocolate War. But when one of the books she loves most is connected to a tragedy she never saw coming, Clara’s forced to face her role in it—and figure out whether she can make peace with her conflicting feelings or if fighting for this noble cause is too tough for her to bear . . . “Suggested Reading is a beautiful reminder that there is nothing simple about loving a book.” —David Arnold, New York Times–bestselling author of Mosquitoland “A diverse cast of characters, bold prose, and humor that breaks up even the darkest moments.” —Booklist
