Gilead - Marilynne Robinson


Beautiful story and beautiful writing. I highly recommend reading this thoughtful story of a spiritual journey. Life, death and the meaning of it all- told so simply and touching. What a great example of fresh and gentle, yet powerful, writing. You will want to re-read lines and paragraphs as you move through this book. A dying advice to a son he will not know. A time and place in America, 1956, not that long ago and yet it seems so distant in this book. Perfect book for curling up with on a cold Sunday morning in winter.
