My review...
This book wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I found
the title to be a bit misleading. I expected there to be a much larger focus on
Isaac and his disappearance. However, the focus seemed to be centered a bit
more on Pete and Dovey. Things did come together, for the most part, as the
story went on.
The book takes place in Alabama in the 1960s, and it
deals with subjects such as segregation and Christianity. While there is not a
deep biblical element, it is woven throughout the story. There are a number of
characters, which made it a bit hard to follow at times, and it took quite a
few chapters for me to get into the story line. The dialogue is realistic, and
the setting is nicely detailed. This is the debut book by the author. I did
enjoy the writing style, so I would likely check out future books.
