The real strength of the “The Scent of Rain and Lightning” is the personification of small town politics and psychology. The concepts of innocent and guilt, as well as the potent combination of money and justice are examined and give the reader a lot to think about.
The second half of the book happens in real time, when Jody starts hearing rumors and innuendos which threaten to tear down her belief structure and ideals. This half tests Jody’s relationship with her family, friends and herself.

Some readers I know on Goodreads have been recommending this book to me lately. This does sound like an intriguing book - I guess I should go check it out.
Hi Aths, it was a selection of a book club I belong to (on Facebook) so maybe that's why it seems like many people are reading it. The book certainly worth reading.
A friend of mine recommended that book but I have doubt reading it and thanks for following me. Maybe I'll read that book later this year.

It's certainly worth reading (and an easy read as well).
