Background
John Grisham brings us the story of a war-hero-come-home to the Jim Crow South. He is the owner of a good plantation and by all appearances is doing well. Until he executes the local preacher. What happened and why did he do what he did?
My Thoughts
I didn’t really like this book. Though it was well written, it was full of ugliness that I just didn’t need. It was a compelling story and there is no doubt John Grisham is a gifted writer. Yet, I just feel dirty after having read it.
Recommendation
Just walk by this one.
