{"product_id":"9781844081486","title":"Gilead","description":"In 1956, toward the end of Reverend John Ames's life, he begins a letter to his young son, a kind of last testament to his remarkable forebears.'It is a book of such meditative calm, such spiritual intensity that is seems miraculous that her silence was only for 23 years; such measure of wisdom is the fruit of a lifetime. Robinson's prose, aligned with the sublime simplicity of the language of the Bible, is nothing short of a benediction. You might not share its faith, but it is difficult not to be awed moved and ultimately humbled by the spiritual effulgence that lights up the novel from within' - Neel Mukherjee, \"The Times\".'Writing of this quality,  with an authority as unforced as the perfect pitch in music, is rare and carries with it a sense almost of danger - that at any moment, it might all go wrong. In \"Gilead\", however, nothing goes wrong' - Jane Shilling, \"Sunday Telegraph\".","brand":"Marilynne Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47683512959294,"sku":"9781844081486","price":351.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781844081486_d45c9926-b769-422e-9f03-91d2566b8c7f.jpg?v=1707636063","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781844081486","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
