**Named a Best Book of 2020 by the _Australian Book Review_, _AV Club_,** **Books-a-Million, _Electric Literature, Esquire_, the** **_Financial Times_, _Good Housekeeping_ (UK), _The Guardian_, _Kirkus Reviews, Literary Hub_, the _New Statesman_, the New York Public Library, NPR, the _Star Tribune,_ and _TIME_**

**Marilynne Robinson, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Humanities Medal, returns to the world of Gilead with _Jack,_ the latest novel in one of the great works of contemporary American fiction**

Marilynne Robinson's mythical world of Gilead, Iowa--the setting of her novels _Gilead_, _Home_, and _Lila_, and now _Jack_\--and its beloved characters have illuminated and interrogated the complexities of American history, the power of our emotions, and the wonders of a sacred world. _Jack_ is Robinson's fourth novel in this now-classic series. In it, Robinson tells the story of John Ames Boughton, the prodigal son of Gilead's Presbyterian minister, and his romance with Della Miles, a high school teacher who is also the child of a preacher. Their deeply felt, tormented, star-crossed interracial romance resonates with all the paradoxes of American life, then and now.

Robinson's Gilead novels, which have won one Pulitzer Prize and two National Book Critics Circle Awards, are a vital contribution to contemporary American literature and a revelation of our national character and humanity.
