"The author of two previous novels, Marilynne Robinson won the PEN/Hemingway Award for best first novel with Housekeeping and earned the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize with her second novel, Gilead. A writer of luminous skill, Robinson's work takes shape around familiar objects and the details of ordinary life, yet is charged with ideas of transience and durability and the passing of generations. In Home, Robinson returns to Gilead, Iowa, to tell the story of the Boughton family as the children come home to care for their dying father."@en

Yet he remains Reverend Boughton's most beloved child. Brilliant, beguiling, lovable, and wayward, Jack forges an intense bond with Glory and engages painfully with John Ames, his godfather and namesake."
