Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2014 EDGAR AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL WINNER OF THE 2014 DILYS AWARD A SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF 2013 From New York Times bestselling author William Kent Krueger, a brilliant new novel about a young man, a small town, and murder in the summer of 1961. "That was it. That was all of it. A grace so ordinary there was no reason at all to remember it. Yet I have never across the forty years since it was spoken forgotten a single word." New Bremen, Minnesota, 1961. The Twins were playing their debut season, ice-cold root beers were selling out at the soda counter of Halderson's Drugstore, and Hot Stuff comic books were a mainstay on every barbershop magazine rack. It was a time of innocence and hope for a country with a new, young president. But for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature. Suicide. Murder. Frank begins the season preoccupied with the concerns of any teenage boy, but when tragedy unexpectedly strikes his family--which includes his Methodist minister father; his passionate, artistic mother; Juilliard-bound older sister; and wise-beyond-his-years kid brother--he finds himself thrust into an adult world full of secrets, lies, adultery, and betrayal, suddenly called upon to demonstrate a maturity and gumption beyond his years. Told from Frank's perspective forty years after that fateful summer, Ordinary Grace is a brilliantly moving account of a boy standing at the door of his young manhood, trying to understand a world that seems to be falling apart around him. It is an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom and the enduring grace of God., From New York Times bestselling author William Kent Krueger, a brilliant new novel about a young man, a small town, and murder in the summer of 1961.

    Worth the reading time

    It's a novel and mystery in one book. Strong characterizations add to the story line. The time is mid 20th century in the midwest during summer vacation. There are a series of deaths in a small town. The narrator is a preacher's son and he takes us through the whole summer from the point of view of a 13 year old boy. This is worthwhile reading.

  • Gripping and real, a must read!

    An excellent read along the lines of Stand By Me and To Kill a Mockingbird. I couldn't put it down. Krueger paints such a clear picture of the town and the people living in it that I can see it--so real and the characters well developed and I felt like iI could have known these people and the horrible events of the summer and the minister that tried to help the people through all of the things that can happen even while struggling to understand why God allows the events that unfold in his own life.

  • Excellent read...

    On one level its a good mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. On another level it is about growing up in a complex world. Finally its about family trying to stay together after a painful loss. Highly recommended...
