Great character development. This resonated so strongly with my own upbringing (the good and the bad) that I couldn't put it down.

I couldn’t love the gorgeous, gentle, kind yet also heartbreaking, authentic, vulnerable and real world of the Gilead novels any more. These are slow reads, because you really must pause to soak in their beauty.

Such beautiful writing, but sad sad sad . . . what happens after the prodigal son comes home. Excruciating to read at times, but just brilliant.
