In this Pulitzer-Prize winning novel, an aging preacher in 1950s Iowa writes a final letter to his young son, weaving together family history, small-town life, and quiet meditations on faith, forgiveness, and love. Marilynne Robinson’s prose calls us to reflect on what it means to live with grace.
From Goodreads:
Nearly 25 years after Housekeeping, Marilynne Robinson returns with an intimate tale of three generations, from the Civil War to the 20th century: a story about fathers and sons and the spiritual battles that still rage at America's heart. In the words of Kirkus, it is a novel "as big as a nation, as quiet as thought, and moving as prayer. Matchless and towering." GILEAD tells the story of America and will break your heart.
