“Quietly powerful [and] moving.” O, The Oprah Magazine (recommended reading)

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award, GILEAD is a hymn of praise and lamentation to the God-haunted existence that Reverend Ames loves passionately, and from which he will soon part.

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.

Kritikerstimmen

<p>“There are passages here of such profound, hard-won wisdom and spiritual insight that they make your own life seem richer…<i>Gilead</i> [is] a quiet, deep celebration of life that you must not miss.” —<i>Ron Charles, The Christian Science Monitor</i><br><br>“The long wait has been worth it… Robinson's prose is beautiful, shimmering, and precise… destined to become her second classic.” —<i>Publishers Weekly, starred review</i><br><br>“There is a lot of pleasure to be had in the novel's probing, thoughtful narrative voice.” —<i>Matt Murray, The Wall Street Journal</i><br><br>“<i>Gilead</i> is a beautiful work… Robinson's words have a spiritual force that's very rare in contemporary fiction.” —James Wood, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br><br>“Lyrical and meditative… potently contemplative.” —<i>Michael Orecklin, Time</i></p>

Quite a philosophical piece. I thinks it's most enjoyable when read in a calm setting. The reader does a great job bringing the book alive.
