torybuckley 's review for:

Sycamore Row by John Grisham

4.0

---

Holographic will goodness, a perfect accompaniment to my current enrollment in wills,trusts & estates. More gripping than any of the assigned cases for class and highly relevant to my nerdy law brain. Scary likely foreshadowing by Grisham in 2013 of a return to the grim enslaved south. 1988 Mississippi was not okay, neither is 2024 Mississippi. The audio book was a little tedious because the narrator a white man tried to sound like what he thought uneducated blacks in the south sound like. Not a good look. Felt very appropriate given the white vote last week. Enjoyed it and glad it will be one of the last books I read while women are still allowed to engage in the activity. ✌
