<br/><br/> In 1956, toward the end of Reverend John Ames's life, he begins a letter to his young son, a kind of last testament to his remarkable forebears. Ames is troubled too by his prodigal namesake, Jack Boughton, his best friend's ne'er-do-well son, who seems to be a living contradiction of everything that Ames stands for. 
<br/><br/> Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award.
