GALAAD OR THE IMPACT OF DISTURBING TESTAMENTARY TESTIMONIES MARILYNNE ROBINSON’S BOOK REVIEW

Summary/Abstract: A pastor whose body is plagued by a relentless illness decides to leave his son a series of diary notes, a series of authentic and unperverted testimonies, whole pages to tell his successor in the future about the purpose and his father's role in the world. Confession occurs naturally and assumed, with the necessary emotional load, being practically like a last chance to speak of a convict in front of the scaffold. The novel talks about human values, fathers and sons, the connection between generations, faith and family, forgiveness and hope, devotion and sacrifice.
