Marilynne Robinson

Esse livro é uma declaração de amor incondicional à vida, mesmo assombrada por Deus e um lamento por sua brevidade. Aclamado pela crítica e pelo público, foi o vencedor do Pulitzer de 2005.

Senza un soldo, senza una casa, Jack passa la notte al Bellefontaine, il cimitero per bianchi di St. Louis. Là nessuno fa caso alla sua giacca sgualcita, al volto emaciato. Ma quella notte Jack non è solo.

Glory, trentotto anni e il cuore a pezzi, torna nella natia Gilead per prendersi cura del padre, il pastore Robert Boughton. Pochi mesi dopo bussa alla porta di casa anche Jack, la pecora nera della famiglia, il figlio piú amato, il piú corrotto, il piú smarrito.

Lila porta con sé un bagaglio fatto soltanto di ricordi e delusioni quando raggiunge la cittadina di Gilead. Ma, varcando per la prima volta la soglia di una chiesa in cerca di un riparo, incontra la voce calda e sicura del reverendo John Ames e finalmente può smettere di combattere.
