The Painted House, John Grisham
10/22/02
A story about growing up on a farm. A cotton farm in Arkansas. The boy, Luke, 7, witnesses several things such as a murder and is forced to keep secrets.
The curiosity of a child is communicated as are the complex corners of life on a farm. This book makes one realize and seek ones dreams. I think farming is fascinating; it is good old American work. I would like to do it someday.
