Synopsis: The 2004 Pulitzer Prize winning novelA New York Times Top-Ten Book of 2004Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction 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 Americas 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. Marilynne Robinson is the author of the modern classic Housekeeping, winner of the PEN/Hemmingway Award, and two books of nonfiction, Mother Country and The Death of Adam. She teaches at the University of Iowa Writers Workshop.
