Beskrivelse
Marilynne Robinson returns to the world of Gilead with Jack, a moving story about love, identity, and redemption. This novel explores the life of John Ames Boughton, a troubled man searching for connection in a divided America.
A powerful tale of love and struggle set against the backdrop of post-World War II America.
Jack follows John Ames Boughton, the prodigal son of a Presbyterian minister in Gilead, Iowa. Known for his struggles with alcoholism and a reputation as a ne'er-do-well, Jack’s story is one of pain and yearning.
Set in segregated St. Louis after World War II, Jack falls deeply in love with Della Miles, an African-American high school teacher. Like Jack, Della is a preacher's child, but she stands out with her sharp mind, generous heart, and strong independence.
Their complex and tender relationship unfolds amid the challenges of their time, capturing the essence of Robinson’s literary brilliance. Jack is widely celebrated as one of her finest works and has been recognized as an Oprah's Book Club Pick.
