About this book
"A Painted House" (2001, 445 pages) is one of the rare Grisham novels to step outside the legal thriller entirely -- a Depression-era coming-of-age story, part of the handful of genre detours (alongside the football-themed "Bleachers" and "Playing for Pizza" and the baseball novel "Calico Joe") that break up his long run of courtroom fiction.
