Book Number: RC 51331
A Painted House by John Grisham
Arkansas, 1952. Seven-year-old Luke Chandler, who lives with his parents and
grandparents in a house that has never been painted, recounts the events
during
cotton-picking season. As Luke faces the daily grind of harvesting, he
witnesses a murder, a birth, and a storm that changes their lives forever.
Some
violence. Bestseller. 2001.
I really enjoyed this book. It is very different from his other books, no lawyers, trials or juries. A realistic portrayal of cotton farming at the time period. My Mother and her family all said how much it was just like that. I give it a big thumbs up.

I have to agree (not necessarily with the darkness comment). It was a very good book.
