ALL THE WORLD BESIDE - GARRARD CONLEY GEBUNDEN

“A heart-wrenching story of love  family  and spirituality.” — People Magazine   From the New
York Times bestselling author of Boy Erased   an electrifying  deeply moving novel about the
love story between two men in Puritan New England.  Cana  Massachusetts: a utopian vision of
18th-century Puritan New England. To the outside world  Reverend Nathaniel Whitfield and his
family stand as godly pillars of their small-town community  drawing Christians from across the
New World into their fold. One such Christian  physician Arthur Lyman  discovers in the
minister’s words a love so captivating it transcends language.  As the bond between these two
men grows more and more passionate  their families must contend with a tangled web of secrets 
lies  and judgments which threaten to destroy them in this world and the next. And when the
religious ecstasies of the Great Awakening begin to take hold  igniting a new era of zealotry 
Nathaniel and Arthur search for a path out of an impossible situation  imagining a future for
themselves which has no name. Their wives and children must do the same  looking beyond the
known world for a new kind of wilderness  both physical and spiritual.  Set during the
turbulent historical upheavals which shaped America’s destiny and following in the tradition of
Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter   All the World Beside reveals the very human lives
just beneath the surface of dogmatic belief. Bestselling author Garrard Conley has created a
page-turning  vividly imagined historical tale that is both a love story and a crucible.
