This novel has popped up on several "best of" lists over the past few years, and I think maybe the cover has made me think it might be boring..... the cover shows a wooden cabin partially buried in snow. But I needed an audio book and this one was available so I finally gave it a try.
Great characters and an interesting story that kept me going. What more could you ask for in an audio book (or really any book). It's all about a college student who comes from a very dysfunctional family who is given the writing assignment to interview a senior citizen. He chooses to go to a nursing home where he meets a man who has been removed from prison because he's dying. The college student then researches the man's legal case, believes he's innocent of the crime that sent him to jail, and off we go. And all this is happening while his wacko mother is not taking care of his younger autistic brother so our little college student steps up and takes him.
A good solid read. - June
