Erling Simons debutroman Narsissisten beskriver mekanismene som holder en familie sammen, en fars selvhevdelse, og kjærlighetsbånd og tillit som forvitrer.Da utstillingen med bilder av musikktalentet Jim og hans eldre bror, Aksel, i scener preget av stor sjalusi og kamp om farens gunst, gir deres far internasjonal anerkjennelse som fotokunstner, slutter Jim helt å spille fiolin. Ved romanens begynnelse fem år senere kommer Jim tilbake til sin mormors hus, stedet han bodde den gang utstillingen åpnet og han fremdeles spilte. Mormor er nå døende, huset hennes er på vei ut av familien, og i ukene før overtagelsen har Jim fått bo der, alene med seg selv for første gang i sitt liv. Musikken har ikke lenger den betydningen den har hatt for ham og avgjørelsen han tar om å selge instrumentet sitt, virker uproblematisk inntil han kommer over farens bilder igjen. Farens arbeidsmetoder har begynt å plage ham. Da det kommer for en dag at faren for tiden er godt i gang med en ny utstilling, bestemmer Jim seg for å konfrontere sin far.

«Marilynne Robinsons Gilead-serie viser hva romanen kan gjøre og alltid har gjort best.»MorgenbladetMarilynne Robinson er amerikansk litteraturs Grand Old Lady. Hennes mest kjente verk, de fire romanene i Gilead-suiten, kretser først og fremst rundt livet til to aldrende pastorer i lokale frikirker, samt deres mer eller mindre skakkjørte forfedre og etterkommere. Den ytre og iblant dramatiske historien er ikke fraværende, men den er heller ikke et poeng i seg selv. I Gilead som overalt ellers utfolder livet seg, men det forfatteren bruker sine formidable litterære evner til å utforske, er hvorfor og hvordan. Hva er kreftene som driver mennesker til å velge rett eller galt? Hva kan forklare vår lojalitet mot medmennesker, vår evne til tilgivelse, til nestekjærlighet og til innsikt i egne feil og mangler? Hvor tungt veier våre synder og forbrytelser? I hvor mange generasjoner? Og hvor trygt hviler vi egentlig i Guds hånd?I Hjem, den andre romanen i Gilead-suiten, møter vi pastor Robert Boughton, enkemann og åttebarnsfar. Han synger på livets siste vers - fysisk svekket og stadig mer dement samtaler han helst om alt som har vært eller kunne ha vært. Så vender den fortapte og høyt savnede sønnen Jack endelig hjem etter tyve års fravær, en utstøtt drukkenbolt som bærer på tiår med dystre hemmeligheter, men som fremdeles pastorens øyensten. Jack jobber på gården og gjør sitt beste for å forsone seg med faren. Imens knytter han sterke bånd til sin søster Glory, som har vendt hjem for å stelle faren, men med en tung bagasje. Hjem er en lysende godt skrevet bok om familie og familiehemmeligheter - og om gudstroens veier og avveier.«Et viltert, eksentrisk og radikalt litterært verk.»New York Times«Hjem byr på så komplekse personskildringer, så mange passasjer med uforlignelig visdom og skjønnhet, at man får lyst til å sitere side etter side.»San Francisco Chronicle

Sonen Edvin skulle fylle sju etter sommaren, og gledde seg til å få sitt eige rom. To dager før dei skulle dra frå hytta, fekk Edvin vondt i hovudet. Nokre timar seinare var han død. Attende står ein rådlaus familie. Kva skjedde egentlig med Edvin? Kor er han no, og korleis kan dei leve vidare på ein god måte etter dette? Snu deg er skriven av ei mor som prøver å finne fram i kaoset gjennom året etter at sonen døydde, og eit forsøk på å skrive Edvin fram. «Edvin var ein gut som levde i augeblikket. Han gledde seg til bursdagen sin. Han var ein livsnytar. Vi leiter etter mønster i fortida, som om det som hende Edvin var forutbestemt, som om det låg der heile tida. Som om tilfeldigheiter ikkje finst.»
