The Second Blind Son by Amy Harmon
4.0
This story runs concurrent to the events in Harmon’s The First Girl Child, so you’ll definitely want to read that one first to get the context needed for The Second Blind Son. It had been a while since I had read The First Girl Child, so I had a bit of a rough time remembering the main events of the shared story, especially for the scenes that overlap with one another between the two books. But knowing how meticulous an author Harmon is, I’ve no doubt the overlapping scenes dovetail perfectly.
One thing I respected a lot about this book was that the main characters didn’t always act in the most likable ways. It made the suspicion they were treated with by characters we met in the first book feel more real. It also made the character development and relationships more complex and true to life.
Overall, this was a good read. It is also yet another good example of Harmon’s ability to render deep characters with complex emotion.
