Guardian Bookshop Notes:

In 1956, toward the end of Reverend John Ames' life, he begins a letter to his young son, a kind of last testament to his remarkable forebears. When his son returns to Gilead, he and Ames attempt haltingly to reconcile, and as they do, secrets that carry fatal consequences come to light.
