GILEAD - MARILYNNE ROBINSON TASCHENBUCH

In 1956  toward the end of Reverend John Ames's life  he begins a letter to his young son  a
kind of last testament to his remarkable forebears. The Hachette Essentials series comprises a
collection of titles that are regarded as modern classics. A carefully and lovingly curated
selection of distinctive  ground-breaking fiction and non-fiction titles published since 1950.
Timeless. Relevant. Passionate. Unified as a series - distinctive as books. A good book is
great. A great book is essential. 'It is a book of such meditative calm  such spiritual
intensity that is seems miraculous that her silence was only for 23 years  such measure of
wisdom is the fruit of a lifetime. Robinson's prose  aligned with the sublime simplicity of the
language of the bible  is nothing short of a benediction. You might not share its faith  but it
is difficult not to be awed moved and ultimately humbled by the spiritual effulgence that
lights up the novel from within' Neel Mukherjee  The Times 'Writing of this quality  with an
authority as unforced as the perfect pitch in music  is rare and carries with it a sense almost
of danger - that at any moment  it might all go wrong. In Gilead  however  nothing goes wrong'
Jane Shilling  Sunday Telegraph
