(A) Tired Eyes Book Club

This month's Tired Eyes Book Club pick is Gilead by Marilynne Robinson (2020).

You can pick up a copy to borrow at the Voorhees Branch.

Summary: 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.

GoodReads: An intimate tale of three generations, from the Civil War to the 20th century: a story about fathers and sons and the spiritual battles that still rage at America's heart. In the words of Kirkus, it is a novel "as big as a nation, as quiet as thought, and moving as prayer. Matchless and towering." GILEAD tells the story of America and will break your heart.
