“In the Gilead novels she's written a quartet of masterpieces. The more closely I read them, the more I find to appreciate, and the more they show the way in seeing the beauty in the ordinary.”
“Gilead,” “Home,”
“Lila,” and “Jack” by Marilynne
Robinson. This sublime collection of novels by one of our greatest
living writers follows a cast of memorable characters in small town Iowa
and provides a profound reminder that, as Oprah says, “we are
privileged to just be human.”

The Reverend Boughton's
hell-raising son, Jack, has come home after twenty years away. Artful
and devious in his youth, now an alcoholic carrying two decades worth of
secrets, he is perpetually at odds with his traditionalist father,
though he remains his most beloved child. As Jack tries to make peace
with his father, he begins to forge an intense bond with his sister
Glory, herself returning home with a broken heart and turbulent
past.
Home is a luminous and healing book about
families, family secrets, and faith from one of America's most beloved
and acclaimed authors.
