Early Reviewers

Home is a brilliantly imagined retelling of the prodigal son parable, set at the same moment and in the same Iowa town as her award-winning earlier novel, Gilead. The Reverend Boughton's hell-raising son, Jack, has come home after twenty years away. Now an alcoholic, he is perpetually at odds with his traditionalist father, though he remains his most beloved child. Home is a luminous and healing book about families and faith from one of America's most beloved and acclaimed authors.
