Well Worth the Wait
Marilynne Robinson's novel, Gilead, won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. The novel tells the story of Rev. John Ames, who begins a letter to his young son as an account of his life and the lives of his father and grandfather...

Robinson returns this month with a companion piece to Gilead, simply yet powerfully titled -- Home. Rev. Robert Boughton, a close friend of the Gilead's John Ames, is a lead character.

Home is likely to be a bestseller and award winner, just as Gilead was several years ago. Both of Robinson's extraordinary novels are available for checkout or reserve in both print and audio CD format.

We also recommend Robinson's 1981 debut and equally stunning novel, Housekeeping.
