Book Review of The Dry Grass of August

The Dry Grass of August
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


This was a great story, a quick read, and worth sharing. I considered naming this book to a middle school reading list with the exception of one scene (the narrator witnesses her parents having sex while hiding from them under their bed). What I especially liked about this story was its snapshot of a child's perception of her parents' flawed marriage -- a story line many can relate to.
