Gilead.

by .... Marilynne Robinson.


Robinson's book won the 2005 Pulitzer prize for fiction and im only 21 pages into the story, but it's about a black preacher man who writes his own narrative as a telling of his life and times to his son ( or maybe his grandson).

But when he talks about relatives in his family or the life and times of his own world, it has kindled a smile deep in my heart. I've even quietly burst out in laughter. And ive even become teary....the story is incredibly touching.

I highly recommend this book.

I may even go buy my own copy.
But someone loaned it to me.

★★★★★★★★★★★
(Awesomeness rating)
