Ford County is the best writing that John Grisham has ever done. Returning to the setting of his first novel, Grisham presents seven short stories about the residents of Ford County, Mississippi. Each story explores different themes-mourning, revenge, justice, acceptance, evolution-but all flirt with the legal profession. Full of strong characters, simple but resonant plotlines, and charming Southern accents, this collection is solid throughout. As always, Grisham balances his lawyerly preoccupations with a deep respect for his undereducated and overlooked characters.

Synopsis
