OK Mr Grisham, you got back on track with the third book in a BIG way!
It's VERY rare for a book to make me cry...but this book...made me shed a couple tears. The last 3 pages broke me. This is the John Grisham I know and love.
The same characters appear from the previous 2 books in the series but again you can read this as a standalone and not be confused about anything.
Dark Isle is a tiny island between Florida and Georgia that was inhabited by runaway slaves until the 1950s when the last 2 descendants had to leave the island as it was no longer wise to live there. Fast forward to 2020 when money hungry land developers want to buy the land from the state of Florida and pop a casino and hotels on the island. However, 1 descendant of the original occupants is still alive and is claiming ownership of the land. Leading up to the court case on who has the rights to the property, we hear the incredibly captivating and heartbreaking stories of how the first slaves got to the island and the challenges they faced while living there.
