Today's Recommendation: LATE ONE NIGHT by Lee Martin

Late One Night by Lee Martin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lee Martin is a great storyteller. His novel, LATE ONE NIGHT, depicts the aftermath of a small town tragedy where a woman and her children are killed in a house fire. The narrator deftly moves among several characters' points of view, weaving a tapestry of voices surrounding a singular, devastating event. I highly recommend this book!
