About A Painted House by John Grisham
Set in rural Arkansas in 1952, this historical novel follows seven-year-old Luke Chandler, whose family rents an eighty-acre cotton farm. When the crop is ready to pick, workers from Mexico and a family from the Ozarks arrive to help with the harvest. The story is inspired by Grisham’s own childhood in rural Arkansas.
Over six weeks of heat, rain, hard work, and conflict, Luke sees and hears things he is not prepared to face. The secrets he keeps put the crop and the Chandler family’s future at risk. Readers interested in historical fiction, coming-of-age stories, and the pressures surrounding a family farm will find a vivid portrait of a young narrator facing adult troubles.
