| A reclusive stranger impulsively buys lemonade from a precocious seven-year-old girl in a yellow dress and walks away, only to be drawn running to her side by the squealing brakes of a careening bread truck as she is struck down.
Thus begins a beautiful, powerfully moving tale written in the "Southern Style" by Charles Martin, author of The Dead Don't Dance. The story follows Reese and Annie as their lives weave closer and closer until each becomes the healing miracle the other desperately needs. Charles Martin writes a story that is both deeply gripping and emotionally charged. He deftly crafts characters who are at once perfectly real and perfectly human. So much so that you cannot help but be drawn into their world. Once he has you, Martin carries you inexorably to the book's emotion-charged climax with a pace that can only be described as "languid". Languid as the rivers that often appear in his works, with deep powerful undercurrents and wide, sweeping vistas. When Crickets Cry is a wonderfully-written, serenely beautiful story of hope, courage, and faith that will grab you and keep you turning the pages until the very end, alternately laughing and crying along the way. My profound thanks to Mr. Martin and Westbow Press for allowing me the opportunity to review this amazing, touching book. | |||
