Marilynne Robinson
Medium Paperback
Jack tells the story of John Ames Boughton, the beloved, erratic, and grieved-over prodigal son of a Presbyterian minister in Gilead, Iowa. In segregated St. Louis sometime after World War II, Jack falls in love with Della Miles, an African American high school teacher who is also the daughter of a preacher?discerning, generous, and independent. Their fraught, beautiful romance is one of Robinson's greatest achievements.
The Gilead novels are about the dilemmas and promise of American history?about the ongoing legacy of the Civil War and the enduring impact of both racial inequality and deep-rooted religious belief. They touch the deepest chords in our national character and resonate with our deepest feelings.
