  • "Glory Boughton has returned to Gilead to care for her dying father.

  • "Hailed as "incandescent," "magnificent," and "a literary miracle" (Entertainment Weekly), hundreds of thousands of readers were enthralled by Marilynne Robinson's Gilead. Now Robinson returns with a brilliantly imagined retelling of the prodigal son parable, set at the same moment and in the same Iowa town as Gilead. The Reverend Boughton's hell-raising son, Jack, has come home after twenty years away. Artful and devious in his youth, now an alcoholic carrying two decades worth of secrets, he is perpetually at odds with his traditionalist father, though he remains his most beloved child. As Jack tries to make peace with his father, he begins to forge an intense bond with his sister Glory, herself returning home with a broken heart and turbulent past. Home is a luminous and healing book about families, family secrets, and faith from one of America's most beloved and acclaimed authors. - Publisher."

  • "Gilead, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize, brought us John Ames, a preacher in 1960s Kansas. Home returns to the same time and place, but this time from the point of view of the Reverend Robert Boughton, Ames's closest friend, and two of Boughton's children: ne'er-do-well Jack and his younger sister, Glory. After a crime-filled childhood, Jack returns home to take care of his aging father. His return alarms Ames - but Jack's journey is less about wilful destruction than it is about truth seeking."@en

Jack - prodigal son of the Boughton family, godson and namesake of John Ames, gone twenty years - has come home looking for refuge and to try to make peace with a past littered with trouble and pain. A bad boy from childhood, an alcoholic who cannot hold down a job, Jack is perpetually at odds with his surroundings and with his traditionalist father, though he remains Boughton's most beloved child.

Brilliant, loveable, wayward, Jack forges an intense new bond with Glory and engages painfully with his father and his father's old friend John Ames."
