The Reckoning - John Grisham
He and she read
Taking place in 1940s rural Mississippi, this is not a typical Grisham courtroom drama. I would say Southern gothic comes closer to describing the genre.
Grisham is a good story teller and he captures the essence of small town America. The book is divided into three parts, with the middle part describing the Bataan death march and its aftermath in which the family patriarch participated. The war scenes are brutal but realistic and a good reminder that war is indeed hell. This section is long and may not be to everyone’s liking.
