“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.

I really wanted to try and listen to this book. Oprah thinks highly of this and other two in the series. But I couldn’t listen to the narrator. He had a deep resonant voice but it would dip low at intervals than suddenly the volume would go way up and I found it just got on my nerves. I would give it another try with another narrator.

This may win a second award, if they ever give one out for being the worst book to ever win a Pulitzer.
