WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE &; OPRAH&;S BOOK CLUB PICK &; NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER
A hymn of praise and lamentation from a 1950s preacher man. A testament to the sacred bonds between fathers and sons. A psalm of celebration and acceptance of the best and the worst that the world has to offer. This is the story of generations, as told through a family history written by Reverend John Ames, a legacy for the young son he will never see grow up. As John records the tale of the rift between his own father and grandfather, he also struggles with the return to his small town of a friend&;s prodigal son in search of forgiveness and redemption.
The winner of two major literary awards and a New York Times Top10 Book of 2004, Gilead is an exquisitely written work of literary fiction, destined to become a classic, by one of today&;s finest writers.
