Painted House
September 1952. The cotton is almost ready in the fields of Arkansas. The harvest will soon begin. Luke Chandler is a seven-year-old who lives with his family in a small, unpainted house on rented land. In the next six weeks, the Chandlers and a hired band of hill people and Mexicans must bring in the cotton that is their livelihood and the guarantee of their survival on the land. |
Soon heat, rain, fatigue, a killing and the unraveling of a family secret threaten to destroy the Chandler’s hopes
and will transport Luke abruptly from childhood innocence to experience.
‘A beguiling and gracefully constructed novel’ Sunday Times
‘John Grisham’s pared-down, colloquial prose. . .is at
times reminiscent of Hemingway. A tale told by
a craftsman with skill and assurance’ Spectator
‘Characters no reader will forget. . .and a drop-dead
evocation of a time and a place that mark this
novel as a classic’ Publishers Weekly |
