The Green Mile by Stephen King

Product Details

About the Book

The Green Mile is a deeply moving and emotionally resonant novel by legendary author Stephen King, set on E Block, the death row of Cold Mountain Penitentiary, in Depression-era Louisiana. The novel takes its title from the color of the linoleum floor that condemned men walk along on their final journey toward execution, a path known among the guards and inmates simply as "the Green Mile."

The story is narrated by Paul Edgecombe, the head guard on the block, who has witnessed his share of remarkable and disturbing things over the years, but nothing prepares him for the arrival of John Coffey, a giant of a man convicted of the brutal murder of two young girls. Despite his imposing size and the horrific crime he's been sentenced to die for, Coffey possesses a childlike gentleness and an extraordinary, inexplicable gift: the power to heal the sick and injured with a simple touch. As Paul and his fellow guards come to know Coffey, they begin to question everything they thought they understood about guilt, justice, and the nature of good and evil, forced to reconcile the crime that landed him on death row with the profound compassion and healing power he demonstrates every day. Originally published in a unique serialized format across six separate volumes before being released as a single novel, The Green Mile combines King's gift for atmospheric storytelling with a deeply human, emotionally devastating exploration of mercy, injustice, and what it truly means to be good in an unjust world.
