Once started I was completely immersed in each member of this family and all the people that they come in contact with. The family in this book are that of the town's minister's which lends itself to discussions of religion. One of the main characters is a wonderful peaceful father who has to guide his children through the animalistic ways of mankind. A beautiful tale with a 'morals in an immoral world' theme. So much so that I found myself listening to this story in black and white. It's a mystery that takes place in Minnesota in 1961 with classic literature very reminiscent of To Kill A Mockingbird. There are no particularly gripping moments or shocking revelations here but taken as a 'whole' this is a murder mystery that will not fail to grip you and will stay with you long after you've finished it. The descriptive passages devoted to both the locations, era and characters made it a memorable experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this novel. I'm not a believer in the religious sense and at times it could have been so easy to feel an edge of impatience taking over, but it's so well written that finally I just couldn't fail to be moved by his stoicism. The burden put onto the father of the Drum family. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Sensitively read and nothing 'over the top' which would have ruined the delicate balance of this novel What about Rich Orlow’s performance did you like? The over-whelming impact on the Drum family of the various incidents that unfold.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Ordinary Grace?
It's extremely well written with good quality characterisations that hold your interest and really make you care about what happens to each of them. Yes I would happily recommend this novel. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
