Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
My friend Kate recommended this book when I shared how I have given up on adult books!
John Ames, a third generation pastor, is writing reflections and musings about his life so his seven year old son has some understanding of his life. See, John Ames is in his seventies and any day his heart could stop. The thought of not watching his son grow into a man pains his heart more than his physical aliment.
With beautiful writing, Ms. Robinson allows us to became acquainted with a kind man who struggles with feelings and thoughts we all combat on a daily basis.
I will need to reread this book many more times to appreciate the word choice and breath taking phrases and fully understand its depth.
*Highly recommend.
Not a book to read when distractions abound!
