ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Gilead, by Marilynne Robinson, is a novel told through a letter from an aging pastor, John Ames, to his young son. Set in Gilead, Iowa, the story reflects on faith, family, and the passage of time. Ames seeks to impart wisdom to his son, grappling with his mortality. The complex relationship with Jack Boughton, a troubled character, stirs unease and challenges Ames's prejudices. The narrative delves into the nature of faith, doubt, and the human condition, as Ames reflects on his sermons and finds solace in prayer. It's a meditation on life's beauty, human connection, and faith's power.
