Set in rural Arkansas in 1952, A Painted House follows the Chandler family during harvest time, in particular seven-year-old Luke who, after tensions brew between the hired Mexican and hill people farmhands, witnesses a brutal murder . . .
With A Painted House John Grisham strikes out in a different direction from the legal thrillers he is renowned for to create a moving story of one boy's coming-of-age journey from innocence to experience.
"Will Grisham's fans miss the lawyers? Not hardly. This is a Grisham novel all the way, despite its surface departures from the legal thrillers, and it will be received as such" -- Publishers Weekly
