A Painted House - John Grisham
The hill people and the Mexicans arrived on the same day. The Cardinals were five games behind the Dodgers with two weeks to go, and the season looked hopeless. It was a Wednesday, early in September 1952.
It could be a good crop. The cotton, however, was waist high to my father, almost over my head, and he and my grandfather could be heard before supper whispering words that were seldom heard. Thus begins the new novel from John Grisham, a story inspired by his own childhood in rural Arkansas.
The narrator is a farm boy named Luke Chandler, age seven, who lives in the cotton fields with his parents and grandparents in a little house that´s never been painted. The Chandlers farm eighty acres that they rent, not own, and when the cotton is ready they hire a truckload of Mexicans and a family from the Ozarks to help harvest it. For six weeks, they pick cotton, battling the heat, the rain, the fatigue, and sometimes, each other.
As the weeks pass 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.
