An Equal Stillness by Francesca Kay

Nice, breezy summer read. Hate the ad copy on the cover but if you get over that, a nice story of the development of an artist.

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson

Didn't enjoy John Ames as a narrator quite as much as Glory in Home but it had many of the same things to recommend it: good writing; fine, quiet details; interesting theological discussions. I'm so intrigued by the sad Jack Boughton.
