Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
3.0

Gilead is told through the voice of Reverend John Ames, an aging pastor in a small Iowa town, who is writing a letter to his young son as he approaches the end of his life.

I haven’t had much luck with books lately, and this one wasn’t any different. I found it difficult to stay engaged, the flow felt off, making it a struggle to get through.
On top of that, the story is quite sad, and by the end, I felt ... lonely.
