Review
“A pitch-perfect, wonderfully evocative examination of violent loss. In Frank Drum's journey away from the shores of childhood—a journey from which he can never return—we recognize the heartbreaking price of adulthood and its 'wisdoms.' I loved this book.” (Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Live by Night and The Given Day)“Krueger’s elegy for innocence is a deeply memorable tale.” (Washington Post)“A respected mystery writer turns his attention to the biggest mystery of all: God. An award-winning author for his long-running Cork O’ Connor series, Krueger aims higher and hits harder with a standalone novel that shares much with his other work.... 'the awful grace of God,' as it manifests itself within the novel, would try the faith of the most devout believer. Yet, ultimately, the world of this novel is one of redemptive grace and mercy, as well as unidentified corpses and unexplainable tragedy. A novel that transforms narrator and reader alike.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred))“...elegiac, evocative.... a resonant tale of fury, guilt, and redemption.” (Publishers Weekly)“Once in a blue moon a book drops down on your desk that demands to be read. You pick it up and read the first page, and then the second, and you are hooked. Such a book is Ordinary Grace…This is a book that makes the reader feel better just by having been exposed to the delights of the story. It will stay with you for quite some time and you will always remember it with a smile.” (Huffington Post)“One cannot read Ordinary Grace without feeling as if it is destined to be hailed as a classic work of literature. Ordinary Grace is one of those very rare books in which one regrets reaching its end, knowing that the experience of having read it for the first time will never be repeated. Krueger, who is incapable of writing badly, arguably has given us his masterpiece.” (BookReporter.com)“My best read so far this year.” (ReviewingtheEvidence.com)“A thoughtful literary mystery that is wholly compelling and will appeal to fans of Dennis Lehane and Tom Franklin. . . Don’t take the title too literally, for Krueger has produced something that is anything but ordinary.” (BookPage)“Not often does a story feel at once fresh and familiar. But Ordinary Grace, a new novel from William Kent Krueger, is both, and it is affecting.” (Denver Post)“Ordinary Grace is engaging from the first page, a quiet novel that unfurls its sad story slowly, but eloquently, leaving its mark on your heart.” (The Missourian)

I listened to this book some months ago, so the details are not as fresh as they might be otherwise. I really loved this book, although I would not give it 5 stars. I reserve that for books that are virtually "perfect" at least from my perspective,but this book did come close. I listened to the Audible edition. The narration was great and all the characters were strong and relate-able for me except the mother/wife with all of her smoking and cursing and generally negative view of church-life and all things spiritual. Even though she had not married her husband as a minister...he became one after they married, her character didn't seem to fit well with her high level on antagonism towards her husband's profession. On the other hand Krueger's handling of the the mother's past relationship with the one-time world-famous pianist, (I forget his name) that was now her daughter's teacher/mentor was very deftly written. And then the minister was so, so, very good to everyone, a little too good at times and excessively understanding, but I felt myself warm to him anyway. Frank, our protagonist, was a great character and the way he cared so much for his sister was very moving. I really enjoyed the part where he and his reluctant brother were eavesdropping on a couples' marriage counseling session (by way of a pipe in basement, I think?) that their dad was having in his office. This was so funny and something I definitely would have done as a kid. At any rate, this book, this story, is, yes, I'll say it: "heartwarming" with a good mystery thrown in. I finished it and felt a kind of satisfaction of time well-spent. Highly recommended!
I read three books a week. I read for entertainment as I am too old to want to be bothered with learning something. Just give me a good mystery or a good legal thriller and I am a happy camper. Ordinary Grace was neither of those things. A friend recommended it to me so out of the goodness of my heart I gave it a try. Oh my! I loved it! Actually read it twice. Most books I give a three or maybe a four star but this one gets a five!
This might not be the most helpful review, as I really don't think I can articulate why I loved this book so much - I just did. Maybe due to its setting in a simpler time (early 1960's), in a small town (in Minnesota) - it almost made me wistful. While the story itself is terrific, the author did such a wonderful job telling it from a young boy's point of view, and I felt like I was right there with Frank Drum. I just so appreciated the messages in this book as well. I can tell you that it's been a long time since I was sad to see a book end, but that definitely happened with Ordinary Grace.Again, not a super helpful review, but just wanted to put my 5 stars out there. So very well done, Mr. Krueger.
Ordinary Grace is a novel that tells the story of a young boy, Frank Drum, who is coming-of-age in 1961. During the summer of '61, Frank and his younger brother, Jake, learned the hard truths about death in various forms: accidental, natural, suicide, and murder. Frank was 13 years old during this time and the story is told from his point of view. Yes, the book is written in first person (you all know how I feel about that) and it worked. The way the author, William Kent Krueger, wrote the story made you feel as if you were sitting in your living room having a conversation with Frank about his summer.The author wrote with wonderful imagery throughout the novel and the reader felt as if he was right there feeling the breeze on their face or smelling the river. The story keeps the reader engaged with Frank and Jake's antics that wound up placing them in precarious positions and involving them knee deep in the active investigations. Frank's father, Nathan, is a preacher, and throughout the novel the reader learns about what ordinary grace is from the way he handles every situation, no matter how bad, in life to how he drew strength from his faith in God.The characters in the story are well developed and have unique personalities that are relatable. From past loves to current loves to love lost, each person in the book handle each situation differently. Some shut down, others got angry, and some just crumbled under the loss and fear. From cover to cover, the reader will want to keep on this journey no matter how heart-wrenching it may be. William Kent Krueger wrote the novel so that no one can really figure out the mystery of who-dun-it until the very end.
I think this is the most powerful book I have ever read. I was touched by this book. Only out of necessity did I put it down before completion. I normally read the one-star reviews when purchasing a book, even if the %'s are very low, someone criticized the book because "knew" how it would play out as they felt the signs were obvious. I did not. Good for them, they're a genius. I think they missed the whole point. This book is to be read and enjoyed for the pain, values, and message that is spoken/unspoken in several difficult situations. Some of the most eloquent ideas about friendship, bullying, love, etc. I know not everyone has the same taste in literature, but I don't think you will be disappointed.
