New audio book cds John Grisham author A Painted House read by David Lansbury Until that September of 1952, Luke Chandler had never kept a secret or told a single lie. But in the long, hot summer of his seventh year, two groups of migrant workers — and two very dangerous men — came through the Arkansas Delta to work the Chandler cotton farm. And suddenly mysteries are flooding Luke’s world. A brutal murder leaves the town seething in gossip and suspicion. A beautiful young woman ignites forbidden passions. A fatherless baby is born ... and someone has begun furtively painting the bare clapboards of the Chandler farmhouse, slowly, painstakingly, bathing the run-down structure in gleaming white. And as young Luke watches the world around him, he unravels secrets that could shatter lives — and change his family and his town forever.... This story is a deviation from Grisham's legal thrillers. It's a coming-of-age story told from the perspective of 7-year-old Luke Chandler in rural Arkansas in 1952. Luke's family are cotton farmers. His mother is a city girl who never expected to be stuck on an Arkansas cotton farm and wants more for her son than what the hard rural life offers. Although this is a slower paced story than his thrillers, Grisham does a masterful job developing the characters and making the reader care about what happens to them. There is conflict between the locals and the hill people of the Ozarks and Mexican migrant workers who come to help harvest the cotton.
