The Madonnas of Echo Park touches on so many topics, including faith, family, identity, and a place to call home. I don't think I'm going to run out and read everything he has written (I would be at it for a while with more than 25 books!), but I'm glad I gave his writing a try.ĭo you enjoy reading John Grisham's books? Which is your favorite? They are fast paced and interesting, perfect for a one-day marathon read. I see why people enjoy reading his novels. Grisham really builds the tension throughout - I was never sure if Darby was going to make it through another day despite her best efforts to hide from the men chasing her. But the story of government conspiracy and intrigue seems like it could happen twenty years ago or tomorrow.
Published in 1992, it's a trip down a memory lane of pay phones and typewriters. It was funny to note how dated this story feels, though. They play important parts, but they don't make the story inaccessible for those of us without our law degrees. As someone who had interest in both the law and journalism once upon a time, I thought those aspects of the story were really interesting. This was my first time reading a novel by John Grisham and I found it an engaging read.
