Description

A hymn of praise and lamentation to the God-haunted existence that Reverend John Ames loves passionately, Gilead is a deeply moving exploration of faith, family, and the complexities of human relationships. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marilynne Robinson, this novel is a powerful exploration of the sacred bonds between fathers and sons, and the ways in which history lives through generations. Reverend Ames begins a letter to his young son, an account of himself and his forebears, weaving a narrative that spans generations and explores the tension between pacifism and the fight for abolition. This is a story of the human condition, of the ways in which wisdom is forged in the soul, and of the enduring power of love and forgiveness.
