In this National Post book review, Philip Marchand looks at the collected essays in Marilynne Robinson's When I Was a Child I Read Books, describing the scholarly and subtle examination of various beliefs and systems that Robinson undertakes in each essay.
"In this collection, When I Was a Child I Read Books, she undertakes an explicit defence of her religion — in the process eviscerating much contemporary nonsense with a sharpness that is a joy to behold."
