Gilead (Gilead, Book 1)
Marilynne Robinson
From the author of Housekeeping, Gilead is the long-hoped-for second novel by one of America’s finest writers.
In 1956, towards the end of Reverend John Ames's life, he begins a letter to his young son: 'I told you last night that I might be gone sometime... You reached up and put your fingers on my lips and gave me that look I never in my life saw on any other face besides your mother's. It's a kind of furious pride, very passionate and stern. I'm always a little surprised to find my eyebrows unsinged after I've suffered one of those looks. I will miss them.'
