review 1: Interesting book about forgiveness and redemption. Bonaventure Arrow is born posthumously to his heart broken mother. He is a silent child, and though he cannot talk, he can hear better than anyone else.This gift enables him to "hear" colors, plants growing and the voice of his father. This is a story about sin and forgiveness. Each character in the book carries a heavy load of guilt, that somehow connects them all together. Though at times predictable, I still found it an intriguing read and gobbled up the pages to the satisfying conclusion.
review 2: Here's the quintessential sultry, Southern novel of the summer with a dash of supernatural. Bonaventure Arrow is born silent and in the South with lots of family trauma all around him. His silence speaks volumes ... moreto the way we keep our skeletons deep in the closet and our trauma roam around like fleas. His gift of silence as well as the author's rich spiritual nuances add to the characters journey to forgiveness and transformation. My only critique is there are some moments that seem sappy, and I can see how this might turn into a "you'll like it or hate it" type novel. less
