This stunning debut novel--drawn from the authors own life experience--tells the moving story of a family of eleven in the American Midwest, bound together and torn apart by their faithA resonant and magical work of imagination.--Chicago TribuneWinner of the Whiting Writers AwardIn this stunning, highly acclaimed debut novel, Hanna Pylvainens We Sinners introduces us to an unforgettable family, bound together and torn apart by their intense religious devotion. Despite the ways all eleven of the Rovaniemis have built their lives around the conservative religions rigid guidelines--music, television, makeup, and even school dances are strictly prohibited--their eventual places in the wider world and their paths to get there could not be more different, or more painful to each other. The children who reject the church learn that freedom comes at an almost unbearable cost, and those who stay struggle daily with the temptations of modern culture. Wholly absorbing and unflinching in its emotional honesty, We Sinners shows us how far we will go for faith and for each other, and the consequences when love--or God--is not enough.About the Author:Hanna Pylvainen graduated from Mount Holyoke College and received her MFA from the University of Michigan, where she was also a postgraduate Zell Fellow.
