La casa dipinta
Ein packender Familienroman In der staubigen Hitze von Arkansas wird ein neugieriger Siebenjähriger plötzlich mit der harten Realität des Lebens konfrontiert. Während Luke noch von Baseball träumt und heimlich die Erwachsenen belauscht, gerät er unvermutet in ein Drama um Liebe und Tod, in dem er selbst eine entscheidende Rolle spielt. John Grisham hat 24 Romane, ein Sachbuch, einen Erzählband und drei Jugendbücher veröffentlicht. Seine Bücher wurden in 38 Sprachen übersetzt. Er lebt in Virginia und Mississippi.
Racial tension, a forbidden love affair, and murder are seen through the eyes of a seven-year-old boy in a 1950s Southern cotton-farming community.
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 ... From the Paperback edition.

Gab bags
"Ceux des collines et les Mexicains sont arrivés le même jour.Un mercredi, en ce début du mois de septembre 1952. A trois semaines de la fin de la saison, les Cardinals de Saint Louis avaient cinq points de retard sur les Dodgers de New York ; la situation paraissait désespérée. Mais le coton montait à la taille de mon père, au-dessus de ma tête. Je l'avais surpris, avant le souper, échangeant à voix basse avec mon grand-père des paroles qu'il ne nous était pas souvent donné d'entendre ; il était question d'une " bonne récolte "." La Dernière Récolte est très certainement le roman le plus personnel de John Grisham. Un petit bijou semi autobiographique, qui n'est pas sans rappeler le Steinbeck des Raisins de la colère.
