Thank you Booksparks, author James Grady, and Pegasus Books for the #src2025 #gifted book! American Sky is an expansive and atmospheric coming of age novel. Here’s the summary:
“For the teenaged Luc, his days are preoccupied with the daily dramas of high school. President John F. Kennedy's assassination seems a world away. But the winds of history find their way to his small Montana town as marijuana clouds rise in the hallways and the notices of neighborhood young men "Killed in Action" in Vietnam keep arriving at an increasing rate.
Acclaimed novelist James Grady's American Sky brings to life the world of a young man who is caught in the nexus of vast social change. From blue-collar life in the heartland to Kent State and the Civil Rights movement, American Sky is a sweeping narrative that builds to a crime that threatens to tear Luc's world apart.”
I can’t wait to dive into this one!
Does this one sound interesting to you? What book mail have you gotten recently?
