Ilustration Concering Books We Sinners

This stunning debut novel—drawn from the author's own life experience—tells the moving story of a family of eleven in the American Midwest, bound together and torn apart by their faith

The Rovaniemis and their nine children belong to a deeply traditional church (no drinking, no dancing, no TV) in modern-day Michigan. A normal family in many ways, the Rovaniemis struggle with sibling rivalry, parental expectations, and forming their own unique identities in such a large family. But when two of the children venture from the faith, the family fragments and a haunting question emerges: Do we believe for ourselves, or for each other? Each chapter is told from the distinctive point of view of a different Rovaniemi, drawing a nuanced, kaleidoscopic portrait of this unconventional family. The children who reject the church learn that freedom comes at the almost unbearable price of their close family ties, and those who stay struggle daily with the challenges of resisting the temptations of modern culture. With precision and potent detail, We Sinners follows each character on their journey of doubt, self-knowledge, acceptance, and, ultimately, survival.

Criticism Epithetical Books We Sinners

In this illuminating and sympathetic book, the eleven members of the Rovaniemi family cope with an uneasy mix of modern life and conservative religion. The nine children and their parents follow a strict form of Lutheranism (no dancing, no TV, etc.)in present day Michigan. Some embrace the faith and some eventually follow other paths, but most of them have to wrestle with the choices they make. The chapters follow each other sequentially in time, but each has the point of view of a different

I am such a sucker for a book that features the different perspectives of the characters.She draws you close to each and envelopes you in their world.

I really enjoyed We Sinners. It's the story of a family in the Midwest, The Rovaniemis, who belong to a deeply deeply traditional Lutheran church and the impact their religion and faith (or lack thereof) has on each family member. The story is told through a series of vignettes; each chapter is centered around one of the 11 family members (mom and dad plus 9 kids) and the book dips in and out of different times in their lives. It's a quiet, lovely book, with fantastic writing and something that

I really liked this book. The only disappointment was the very oddly placed final chapter.

I really loved this book. It seemed to me more like a collection of linked stories than a novel -- each chapter focuses on one of the eleven members of the family, so the overall development and temporal arc is not as obvious as in traditional narratives. Although the voices of the female characters do become a little hard to distinguish at times - just because there are so many of them - this book is full of small and big moments of truth. Chapters entitled "Total Loss" and "Rupture" BLEW ME

The story of the Rovaniemis and the nine children who are members of a conservative church is sad. Not in a beautiful, emotion fueled way but in a numbing, no depth sort of way. Each chapter is told from the point of view of different person. Instead of it being interesting it is distracting because of the large number of characters and the unexplained time jumps. Most major life events occur during the time jump, and many chapters end without resolution. The children who stay in the church live
