I also must mention Marilynne Robinson. Probably one of my favorite books in recent years is Gilead. This book is written in such a beautiful and serene style, I was carried along by the congregationalist pastors voice the whole way. Although perhaps it would be a bit slow moving for some tastes, for me it was beautiful beyond words, even making me cry by the end. I cannot recommend this book enough.
Robinson followed this book with Home. I will only say that after Gilead, I was deeply disappointed.
