  • Grisham goes back to the beginning with Sycamore Row

    Jonnie S. - 7 years 7 months ago

    In 1988, a small-town Mississippi lawyer named John Grisham published his first novel about a small-town Mississippi lawyer. Though compelling, A Time to Kill wasn't an immediate hit. But by the time the movie starring Matthew McConaughey was released in 1996, Grisham was a household name with a string of bestsellers, and readers were clamoring to read the book that began it all. It took Grisham 25 years to write a sequel to that first book, but it's been worth the wait. In Sycamore Row, we're reunited with Jake Brigance, his friends Harry Rex Vonner and Lucien Wilbanks, and many of the other characters and miscreants who inhabit the town of Clanton, Mississippi. Sycamore Row opens three years after the murder case that made Jake famous. Those three years have been tough for Jake and his family, and he's almost broke. But when Seth Hubbard, the county's reclusive millionaire, hangs himself and leaves his estate to his black housekeeper, Jake is stunned to learn he's been named attorney for the estate. Tongues wag and opportunists crawl out of the woodwork as Jake tries to sort out the legal mess and find answers to the many mysteries surrounding Hubbard, his life and his death. I'm an unabashed fan of John Grisham and think he's the best storyteller of our time. His plots are fascinating, and his protagonists are very human. Jake Brigance is no exception, and I hope we'll get to catch up with him again. I just hope we don't have to wait another 25 years.
