Beschreibung

<p><b>A <i>LitHub </i>most anticipated book of 2025</b></p><p><b>'It will become an underground classic' </b><i>New York Times</i><br><b>'A wonderful, loving, tenderly teasing and often moving portrait... Standout' </b><i>Wall Street Journal</i><br><b>'An irresistibly smart and funny novel'</b> Jenny Offill, author of <i>Weather</i>, shortlisted for the Women's Prize For Fiction</p><p>Ruth is raised in a snow globe of Christian communism, a world without private property, television, or tolerance for idle questions. Every morning she braids her hair and wears the same costume, sings the same breakfast song in a family room identical to every other family room in the community; every one of these moments is meant to be a prayer, but to Ruth they remain puzzles.</p><p>Her life is seen in glimpses through childhood, marriage, and motherhood, as she tries to manage her own perilous curiosity in a community built on holy mystery. Is she happy? Might this in fact be happiness? <i>Ruth</i> immerses us in an experience that challenges our most fervent beliefs.</p>
