No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Judge Atlee was a scrupulously honest jurist, so it stuns Ray when he finds $3 million dollars in cash after the judge’s death. There’s no good answer for its appearance. So who else knows and is threatening him? ( ![]() 68-3 Readable but poor ending - damp squib Ray is summoned by his dying father to discuss the estate, but the old man dies before the meeting. To me, The Summons wasn't up to Grisham's highest standards, but was still an enjoyable enough read. The plot had some unlikely elements, but to go into them might spoil the developing story for people who haven't yet read the book. See book jacket for a description of the story.

#1 "NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER A pillar of the community who towered over local law and politics for forty years, Judge Atlee is now a shadow of his former self--a sick, lonely old man who has withdrawn to his sprawling ancestral home in Clanton, Mississippi. Knowing that the end is near, Judge Atlee has issued a summons for his two sons to return to Clanton to discuss his estate. Ray Atlee is the elder, a Virginia law professor, newly single, still enduring the aftershocks of a surprise divorce. Forrest is Ray's younger brother, the family's black sheep. The summons is typed by the Judge himself, on his handsome old stationery, and gives the date and time for Ray and Forrest to appear in his study. Ray reluctantly heads south to his hometown, to the place he now prefers to avoid. But the family meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray . . . and perhaps to someone else. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
