#throwbackthursday
Genre/Categories/Setting: Historical Literary Fiction, Coming of Age, Faith, Minnesota
Welcome to Throwback Thursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of an old read. Today, I’m re-sharing one of my favorite literary fiction titles, Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger.

My Summary:
The summer of 1961 should have been another ordinary summer for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum, but it was a summer of hardships, tragedy, grief, adult problems, and questions of faith. Told from Frank’s perspective forty years later, Ordinary Grace is a poignant coming-of-age story with elements of mystery and suspense.
“In your dark night, I urge you to hold to your faith, to embrace hope, and to bear your love before you like a burning candle, for I promise it will light your way.”

QOTD:
Have you read Ordinary Grace or is it on your TBR?
Have you read This Tender Land or the Cork O’Connor Mystery Series also by Krueger?
I read Ordinary Grace AND This Tender Land. Both brilliantly beautiful.
💯 He’s a fabulous writer!
Both Ordinary Grace and This Tender Land have been on my TBR for too long. Thanks for the reminder!
They’re TBR worthy! I think OG is my fav of the two.
Such a wonderful book! I read it with my book group earlier this year, and we all loved it!
That’s nice to hear! Lots of discussion possibilities!
