Well, I'm reading it. And I have to tell you, it's so rich and smooth and fine; like the best cup of coffee (or tea, or hot chocolate) you ever had. If you have a stack of books on your night stand, get a copy of Gilead and place it there. It will sweeten your sleep and enliven your dreams.
I especially like what Michael Dirda of "The Washington Post" said: This book "is so serenely beautiful, and written in a prose so gravely measured and thoughtful, that one feels touched with grace just to read it."

You can read all of Dirda's review here.
I don't read much fiction, but I'll keep it in mind. What's the main theme?
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it. So, you recommend it?
ReplyDeleteI'm one of your lurkers! I have to agree with you about Gilead. I've read it twice - once for myself and the second time in preparation for my book club discussion (composed of Roman Catholics except for me). I could read it again and love it again.
