The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow by Rita Leganski
4.0
The protagonist is Bonaventure Arrow who can hear better than most people, but doesn't use his voice to share what he knows.
The story revolves around Bonaventure's life without his father. His mother and his paternal grandmother raise him in 1950's Louisiana. There is healing that needs to be done on everyone's part (except for Bonaventure) and the unfolding of these story lines is done with congruity.
I love the characters here and I love the lessons of acceptance and moving through grief to the other side and healing.
I am so glad I finally got around to this one. Thanks to Tasha for bringing it to my attention.
