PRAISE FOR THE DEARLY BELOVED BY CARA WALL "God and literary fiction don''t always get along; perhaps that''s why Cara Wall''s The Dearly Beloved , a thoughtful debut that follows the lives of two ministers and their wives, feels so galvanizing. Its four characters get equal voice--Charles, son of a rigid academic; Lily, orphaned as a child; James, born into family hardship; Nan, a well-adjusted minister''s daughter--as they go to college, get married, find their callings, and weather tragedies. Wall''s approach is deceptively quiet and stirringly romantic. Here is the power of the novel in its simplest, richest form: bearing intimate witness to human beings grappling with their faith and falling in love. That Wall executes it so beautifully? Well, this is exactly why we read literary fiction...The best book about faith in recent memory." -- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (A-) "Compelling...These human loves are beautifully brought to life in The Dearly Beloved . A moving portrait of love and friendship set against a backdrop of social change." -- NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW (EDITOR''S CHOICE) "An unusually assured debut, the book examines faith with revelatory nuance...The beauty of this slow burner will stay with you, religious or not." -- PEOPLE (BOOK OF THE WEEK) "Writing with restrained lyricism, Wall''s debut offers a kind of literary chamber music, combining the viewpoints of a quartet of characters across multiple decades and events. Finely drawn and paced and written with intense compassion...A moving, eloquent exploration of faith and its response to the refining fire of life''s challenges." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW) "Finely drawn and written with compassion and care, and every word is precisely chosen...This story will be beloved by book clubs and fans of literary fiction." -- LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED REVIEW) "A rare and intellectually stimulating outing...By creating such well-defined characters, [Wall] is able to all the more effectively explore the role of faith, or its lack, in dealing with the pressures of marriage, child-rearing, and work. "-- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Underlying the very readable, honestly human propulsion of her characters'' lives in their near-entirety, Wall does a tricky thing quite well, exploring the facts of faith and love at both their most exalting and most trying." -- BOOKLIST "Compelling...a sneakily addictive read." -- VOGUE "Wall''s clean prose and easy ability to move between the thoughts of her protagonists turn what could seem an inquiry into the nature of religion into a visceral look at how it binds people together. " -- VANITY FAIR "Compelling and thoughtfully written." -- CHRISTIAN CENTURY "A thoughtful, beautiful multigenerational novel about love, God, jealousy, and friendship." --ELIZABETH GILBERT, AUTHOR OF EAT, PRAY, LOVE "When I began reading The Dearly Beloved I braced for piety, worried it might be a book only a believer could appreciate. Instead, I found myself carried along by Cara Wall''s luminous prose, and then by these characters and their stories. I saw myself in their doubts, in their hopes. There is no moralizing here, only empathy. When I arrived at the end I felt absolutely lifted by the spirit of the story." --MARY BETH KEANE, AUTHOR OF ASK AGAIN, YES "This wonderful book has all the things that are hardest to find in literature: good marriages sustained by abiding love; nourishing friendships that endure trials; nuanced explorations of religious faith; and characters who strive to do good for others while battling their own demons. What it has, in short, is that hardest-won of qualities in a novel: genuine goodness." --MATTHEW THOMAS, AUTHOR OF WE ARE NOT OURSELVES "I am not a Christian--not a religious person in any way--yet the explorations of faith in The Dearly Beloved speak to me on levels of extraordinary emotional depth, and with gut-wrenching meaning. I will cherish this book for a long, long time." --THISBE NISSEN, AUTHOR OF THE GOOD PEOPLE OF NEW YORK, PRAISE FOR THE DEARLY BELOVED BY CARA WALL "Writing with restrained lyricism, Wall's debut--15 years in the making--offers a kind of literary chamber music, combining the viewpoints of a quartet of characters across multiple decades and events. Wall has a very precise sensibility, and there is no escaping the sense of tidy predetermination in the clear, fixed positions of her four figures and their various oppositions, seen through the debates, struggles, rejections, and consolations that arise among them. Finely drawn and paced and written with intense compassion, the novel shifts ground with a late development that will test and push forward each of the four, leading to a conclusion consistent with Wall's grace and control. A moving, eloquent exploration of faith and its response to the refining fire of life's challenges."-- KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW) "This wonderful book has all the things that are hardest to find in literature: good marriages sustained by abiding love; nourishing friendships that endure trials; nuanced explorations of religious faith; and characters who strive to do good for others while battling their own demons. What it has, in short, is that hardest-won of qualities in a novel: genuine goodness. None of the extraordinary humanity in this book feels unearned; it's as if Wall has stared into the abyss of real life and come out with energy, hope, and a story suffused in light. We say of books that they are unputdownable; this is a book that you have to put down for a spell in order to take in all the generosity it offers; a book in which it is impossible not to wonder what comes next in these four intertwined and gorgeously observed lives."-- MATTHEW THOMAS, New York Times bestselling author of We Are Not Ourselves "Oh, how I wish Laurie Colwin were here to read this book! I think she would have loved it, as I love it--it almost feels like a kind of homage to the New York she wrote about with such compassionate devotion. Cara Wall brings that gigantic, beloved city to such vivid life here--as the vibrant and knotty small town New York can become for those making their lives in it, day to day. I am not a Christian--not a religious person in any way--yet the explorations of faith in The Dearly Beloved speak to me on levels of extraordinary emotional depth, and with gut-wrenching meaning. These characters struggle with faith in a world from which God so often seems absent, but their trials are so real, their yearnings so palpable, that every one strikes me with truly profound resonance. I relished the world of this book and its characters: people trying to figure out how to get along as people, struggling to be good in a world where being a person--let alone a good one!--is the task of our lives. But they're trying, as best they can. And failing. And trying again. Cara Wall lets us travel these very human characters' paths alongside them, lets us see how they make their ways, and helps us figure out how to make our own. I will cherish this book for a long, long time." -- THISBE NISSEN, author of The Good People of New York "When I began reading The Dearly Beloved I braced for piety, worried it might be a book only a believer could appreciate. Instead, I found myself carried along by Cara Wall's luminous prose, and then by these characters and their stories. I saw myself in their doubts, in their hopes. An expansive narrative that draws in fifty years and two marriages, this is a novel to settle in with, to read slowly. It asks the biggest question: where can each of us find meaning in this life? There is no moralizing here, only empathy. When I arrived at the end I felt absolutely lifted by the spirit of the story."-- MARY BETH KEANE, author of Ask Again, Yes, PRAISE FOR THE DEARLY BELOVED BY CARA WALL "God and literary fiction don't always get along; perhaps that's why Cara Wall's The Dearly Beloved , a thoughtful debut that follows the lives of two ministers and their wives, feels so galvanizing.

Synopsis
Set in the years 1950-1970 in a changing America and London, Wall's novel follows two married couples--ministers and academics--whose intricate bonds of faith and friendship, jealousy and understanding, are tested by the birth of an autistic child., "This gentle, gorgeously written book may be one of my favorites ever." --Jenna Bush Hager (A Today show "Read with Jenna" Book Club Selection ) "A moving portrait of love and friendship set against a backdrop of social change." -- The New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice) "Here is the power of the novel in its simplest, richest form: bearing intimate witness to human beings grappling with their faith and falling in love. That Wall executes it so beautifully? Well, this is exactly why we read literary fiction...The best book about faith in recent memory." -- Entertainment Weekly (A-) "When I began reading The Dearly Beloved I braced for piety, worried it might be a book only a believer could appreciate.

There is no moralizing here, only empathy. When I arrived at the end I felt absolutely lifted by the spirit of the story." --Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes Charles and Lily, James and Nan. They meet in Greenwich Village in 1963 when Charles and James are jointly hired to steward the historic Third Presbyterian Church through turbulent times. Their personal differences however, threaten to tear them apart. Charles is destined to succeed his father as an esteemed professor of history at Harvard, until an unorthodox lecture about faith leads him to ministry. How then, can he fall in love with Lily--fiercely intellectual, elegantly stern--after she tells him with certainty that she will never believe in God? And yet, how can he not? James, the youngest son in a hardscrabble Chicago family, spent much of his youth angry at his alcoholic father and avoiding his anxious mother. Nan grew up in Mississippi, the devout and beloved daughter of a minister and a debutante. James's escape from his desperate circumstances leads him to Nan and, despite his skepticism of hope in all its forms, her gentle, constant faith changes the course of his life. In The Dearly Beloved , we follow these two couples through decades of love and friendship, jealousy and understanding, forgiveness and commitment. Against the backdrop of turbulent changes facing the city and the church's congregation, these four forge improbable paths through their evolving relationships, each struggling with uncertainty, heartbreak, and joy. A poignant meditation on faith and reason, marriage and children, and the ways we find meaning in our lives, Cara Wall's The Dearly Beloved is a gorgeous, wise, and provocative novel that is destined to become a classic., "This gentle, gorgeously written book may be one of my favorites ever." --Jenna Bush Hager (A Today show "Read with Jenna" Book Club Selection!)
