In this mesmerizing and profound novel the arc of a woman's life in a devout insular community challenges our deepest assumptions about what infuses life with meaning. 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. 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? Ruth immerses us in an experience that challenges our most fervent beliefs.
