A Painted House
John Grisham
Grisham's newest novel is inspired from his own childhood in rural
Arkansas. The narrator is a farm boy named Luke Chandler, age seven, who
lives in the cotton fields of his parents and grandparents in a little
house that's never been painted. In the course of the
cotton-picking season, Luke sees and hears things no seven-year-old
could possibly be prepared for and finds himself keeping secrets
that not only threaten the crop but will change the lives of the
Chandlers forever. A Painted House is a moving story of one
boy's
journey from innocence to experience.
