What They're Saying
Critics Review
brilliantly done and deeply moving - Sun-Herald
Robinson brings us closer to Jack and Glory, and to the flaws in their inheritance. As a result, it’s a richer, more open and encompassing book than Gilead with devastating momentum and uncanny brilliance, the novel marches towards its powerful conclusion - The Age
Rich with the same humane, generous wisdom - Sydney Morning Herald
Home is rich, deep and wide, pretty much perfect for a perceptive reading group because it is so teasingly uncompromising in the way it lays out characters for us to examine without itself judging - Weekend Australian
The last few pages of Home are among the saddest I have read, and yet the most uplifting - Good Reading
