At a moment in cultural history dominated by the shallow, the superficial, the quick fix, Marilynne Robinson is a miraculous anomaly: a writer who thoughtfully, carefully, and tenaciously explores some of the deepest questions confronting the human species. . . . Poignant, absorbing, lyrical...Robinson manages to convey the miracle of existence itself. "Merle Rubin, Los Angeles Times Book Review"
Incandescent . . . magnificent . . . [a] literary miracle. "Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly (A)"
Rapturous . . . astonishing . . . "Gilead" is an inspired work from a writer whose sensibility seems steeped in holy fire. "Lisa Shea, Elle"
Lyrical and meditative . . . potently contemplative. "Michele Orecklin, Time"
Perfect. "Jeremy Jackson, People(four stars)"
Major. "Philip Connors, Newsday"
You must read this book. . . . Altogether unlike any other work of fiction, it has sprung forth more than twenty years after "Housekeeping" with what I can only call amazing grace. "Anne Hulbert, Slate"
So serenely beautiful and written in a prose so gravely measured and thoughtful, that one feels touched with grace just to read it. "Michael Dirda, The Washington Post"
There are passages here of such profound, hard-won wisdom and spiritual insight that they make your own life seem richer. . . . "Gilead" [is] a quiet, deep celebration of life that you must not miss. "Ron Charles, The Christian Science Monitor"
"Gilead" is a refuge for readers longing for that increasingly rare work of fiction, one that explores big ideas while telling a good story. As John Ames might point out, it's a remarkable thing to consider. "Olivia Boler, San Francisco Chronicle""
