September book discussion: Jack, by Marilynne Robinson
Our September book for discussion is Jack, by Marilynne Robinson. It's the last book in her Gilead quartet.
It's not necessary to have read the other books, as they are all standalone books about the same characters/community, and they are not in chronological order. We actually discussed Robinson's book, Home (also about Jack, but from the perspective of his sister Glory), back in April 2016, on the old Ship, so if you're curious to see that discussion, go here.
There is a Guardian review of Jack here, which I found interesting- it views it as a Calvinist romance.
I will post some questions on 20th September. Apologies for the delay in posting this thread - I was back at work this week after the summer break, and everything else momentarily slipped my mind!
