Marilynne Robinson retells the Gilead story from the minister Boughton's house, as his prodigal son and dutiful daughter come home.
A companion to Gilead, Marilynne Robinson’s novel unfolds in the neighboring Boughton household, where the aging Reverend Boughton is tended by his daughter Glory when his troubled son Jack returns home after twenty years away. As father, son, and sister circle old wounds, Robinson examines faith, failure, and the difficulty of forgiveness within a single family. It is quiet, profound, and deeply moving.
