Auf dem Sterbebett schreibt John Ames einen Brief an seinen siebenjährigen Sohn. Dem Kind will er alles erklären: Die Einsicht, mit der man das eigene Leben auf einen Schlag begreift, den Trost, der in einer einzelnen Berührung liegen kann, und den Ort, der sein Ende beschließt: Gilead, die kleine Stadt unter dem unermesslichen Himmel des Westens, leicht wie Staub und so schwer wie die Welt.

Gilead é o segundo romance de uma das mais brilhantes autoras americanas contemporâneas, que compõe com sua escrita um bordado ao mesmo tempo sutil e avassalador — certamente um desafio a uma tradução tão primorosa como essa, de Maria Helena Rouanet. Esse livro é uma declaração de amor incondicional à vida, mesmo assombrada por Deus e um lamento por sua brevidade. Aclamado pela crítica e pelo público, foi o vencedor do Pulitzer de 2005.
