Textul de pe ultima copertă
Lyle and Peg Hovde, now in their golden years, live a quiet and contented life in rural Wisconsin. After a troubled adolescence and a period of estrangement, their daughter, Shiloh, has returned home, bringing her five-year-old son, Isaac, with her. The joy of a grandchild has given the Hovdes a chance to heal old wounds and forge new bonds, and Lyle is determined to keep his family intact for the rest of his days.
Shiloh has changed in her time away from home, however—now, she’s a deeply involved member of an extremist church, and commits herself to its strict religious rules with a feverish devotion. The church’s pastor is smitten with Shiloh, and is even more captivated by Isaac, who he believes has the God-given ability to heal the sick.
Lyle, whose own faith was severely shaken after a tragedy years ago, now finds himself torn. The practices of the church make him increasingly uneasy—but if he rebuffs Shiloh’s newfound community, his daughter and grandson may disappear from his life for good. And when the church’s radical belief system threatens Isaac’s safety, Lyle is forced to make a decision that may fracture the family beyond repair.
Set over the course of one year and beautifully evoking the change of seasons, Little Faith is a stunning and profoundly moving novel about friendship and community, the ways in which belief is both forged and dismantled, and the lengths we go to protect our own.

Recenzii
“[A] tender and perceptive novel.... An open-minded inquiry into the nature of religious belief, in both its zealous and low-key forms.... “Little Faith” is [Butler’s] best so far, unafraid of sentiment yet free of the kitsch.” — Wall Street Journal
“With its focus on spirituality and reverence for the joys of everyday life, ‘Little Faith’ calls to mind Marilynne Robinson’s ‘Gilead.’” — New York Times Book Review
“[Peopled with] regular folks, behind whose plain-spoken reserve and dry humor beats the heart of the country, at once practical and passionate, poetic and earthbound.... Butler is very good at getting...the routines and rituals as subtly infused with personal history as with the changing of the seasons.” — Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Butler blends a sweet situation — a grandfather’s love for his grandson — with a divisive religious conflict that could have life-altering consequences for that child.... Butler represents a continuum of believers and doubters.” — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“A powerful story filled with deep emotion, no matter your religious proclivities.... [A] stark and honest discussion of faith and doubt.” — Volume One
“Breathtaking yet devastating.... Butler weaves questions surrounding faith, regret, and whether it’s possible to love unconditionally into every page of this potent book.... This is storytelling at its finest.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Powerful.... [Butler] skillfully handles the complicated—and heartbreaking—psychological and emotional complexities of this story, crafting a deeply moving novel about love, faith, and loss.... A beautifully realized meditation on the nature of parenting and living in a perplexing (and often cruel) world.” — Library Journal (starred review)
“A heartland novel that evokes the possibility of everyday miracles.... Like a favorite flannel shirt, relaxed and comfortable, well-crafted even as it deals with issues of life and death, faith and doubt.... The novelist loves this land and these characters, with their enduring values.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Exploring the complexities of faith and family, Butler...also tackles the power and pitfalls of devout Christianity. Fans of Richard Russo and Jan Karon will appreciate Butler’s sense of place, which lets seasonal shifts and harvest cycles propel the novel forward. Little Faith is quietly and deeply moving.” — Booklist
“A novel as tender and generous as any I’ve read. It’s a three a.m. I gotta get some sleep but can’t stop reading sorta book. Heart stoppingly good.” — Willy Vlautin, author of Lean on Pete and Don’t Skip Out on Me
