I wasn't expecting that. This book is shoved full of increasingly unrealistic cliches, plot contrivance, and heaps of protagonist-centered morality. I do appreciate that the author steered clear of the biggest plot contrivance cliche, though. The ending was the best part of the book for many reasons. The writing was okay. I really liked that none of the prose was purple, although there were indeed a few Dead Herrings (thanks to Das Sporking for the term). I rolled my eyes and grumbled at a lot of the subplots. I'm glad I read this, though. I have a feeling death sentences in fiction rarely end in death, and have a list of books with the topic so I can learn the answer. EDIT 12/1/2018 Dreamwidth: Actually, quite a few end in death. I flipped to the last thirty pages of many books on my list so I could read the buildup to the death scene, which were often the only pages that mattered to me ( ) I liked the "justice project" aspect of this book. Grace served 17 years of her sentence for murdering her infant son. Then as her execution date approached, Grace's daughter and lawyer got around to researching old paperwork and discovered that William had a metabolic disorder. Otherwise, the book annoyed me a great deal, in large part because it morphed into Christian fiction without being advertised as such. The truth will set you free, or will it? Grace Bradshaw finds the date of her looming execution approaching. She has been in prison for the death of her baby for a very long time. She desperately writes to her daughter, Sophie, every day in hopes of reconnecting with her before her death. Sophie has left that part of her life behind her and is married to a successful doctor who has no idea about her past. She has told no one in the new life she has built for herself about her mother or dead baby brother. When her mother’s lawyer finally tracks her down she is forced to face her past and she must decide if she will visit her mother before she dies and how she will tell her husband that she has lied those whole time about her family. Sophie: “Nothing would fill the empty cavern that had burrowed itself deep inside her the day her mother was dragged away from her in handcuffs.” “My entire life has been altered because of my mother. Pain doesn’t begin to describe what I feel.” Sophie has believed that her mother was guilty of killing her brother all this time, but now she starts to question everything. Is her mother really innocent? If so, will she be able to prove it before she is executed? Read this book with a box of Kleenex. This is a deeply upsetting book. Not only does it emphasize a certain fatal flaw in the justice system, but the family dynamic is deeply touching and sad as well. It actually made me cry, which is a rarity with books. The writing here is so compelling, and the narrative so powerful, you just can't help but be drawn in and carried away. I became so deeply emotionally invested in the characters and their stories, it actually shocked me to learn that this book isn't by some big-name author that had just somehow slipped under my radar. Rather, this is a debut writer to watch closely, because anyone off to this great of a start has one heck of a literary future ahead of them. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
