A Painted House by John Grisham
5.0

Marvelous! Wonderful! Exceptional!

What a book. Really loved it. Great plot.

Was always reluctant in picking up this book, glad I did. I was expecting another legal thriller, but I was surprised that there wasn't even one lawyer in this book. Really amazing seeing Grisham writing historical fiction.

A story about a seven year old boy, Luke Chandler who lives with his parents and grandparents in Arkansas and are cotton farmers and how the summer of 1952 changed his life.

This book felt like an autobiography of John Grisham because of his similar childhood.

The ending felt like there's still another part of it, maybe I'm wrong.
