Gilead by Marilynne Robinson, published in 2004 by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, is a deeply introspective novel that won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2005 and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Set in the 1950s in the small town of Gilead, Iowa, the story unfolds through the eyes of Reverend John Ames, a Congregationalist minister. Gilead does address issues connected to the Civil War, though indirectly and through the lens of family memory and moral inheritance. Reverend John Ames recounts the stories of his grandfather, a fiery abolitionist preacher who fought in the Civil War. Ames’s grandfather is a deeply complex figure—fervently committed to the Union cause and willing to fight for emancipation, even to the point of violence. Through these reflections, Gilead delves into the lingering effects of the Civil War on individual families and on America’s moral landscape.
