ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"A Painted House" by John Grisham tells the story of a seven-year-old boy named Luke Chandler, who lives on a cotton farm in rural Arkansas in 1952. The narrative follows Luke as his world is disrupted by the arrival of migrant workers, both hill people and Mexicans, to help with the cotton harvest. This influx of new people brings about conflict, as well as friendships and secrets. The story explores themes of family, community, and the complexities of good and evil, all through the eyes of a child. Luke experiences a loss of innocence as he witnesses violence and grapples with mature issues beyond his years, and the story includes secrets, murder, and running away. The narrative also delves into the social and cultural differences of the time, and the challenges faced by a rural family trying to hold on to tradition, while also trying to move on. The book includes a family that loves baseball, and a main character who is learning to write.
