Setting her novel after World War II, just before Gilead, Home and Lila, Marilynne Robinson returns to the world of Gilead. Jack, the grieved-over prodigal son, a drunkard and a ne'er-do-well has left home for St Louis, Missouri. In that segregated city, Jack falls in love with an African-American high school teacher, also a preacher's child. Della Miles is a woman with a discriminating mind, a generous spirit and an independent will.
Jack is their fraught and beautiful love story.
