Wrapped in Rain
by Charles Martin
Bookclub read, although I had a physical copy in my collection already. I got the Kindle copy and audiobook from the library, went primarily with audio. Liked it, didn't love it. 3.5 stars. I may do a bit of re-reading before bookclub, and see if that ups my appreciation. There were some discussion questions included in the book at the end, and reading those has already made me delve a little deeper than I had on my own initial listen.
The prologue, and half the chapters, are 1st person (past tense) from Tucker's POV. Then there are several 3rd person chapters, POV of Mutt and Mose. A lot of what was going on, especially at the start, seemed so random though, a little "why is all this included?" and while some of it was building blocks, some still seems random on reflection. I would have liked to have the chapters noted somewhat in the table of contents (if it was Tucker/Mutt/Mose) but there weren't headers in the book, at at least the switch from 1st to 3rd help keep the sections more distinct. There was some movement from the present to past memories as well.
The abuse was a little hard to read about ... and to believe ... that there wouldn't have been consequences? That Rex just got away with that, to the boys, to Miss Ella? All of Mutt's reactions, the cleaning. SPOILER while the abduction wasn't really unexpected, it happened so suddenly in the book that I felt like I'd missed something. I had to stop, rewind, pull up the spot in the Kindle copy ...
Definite title tie-in ...
I liked the photography symbolism, and the "changing your lens" ...
I liked the conversations between Tuck and Miss Ella throughout (the present, even though she'd passed away).
Laughed out loud at the "“You know how you asked me to tell you before I hurt somebody?” “Yeah,” I said, holding my cracked ribs. “Well, I’m telling you.” Go Mutt.
No proFanity (not a surprise as this is Christian fiction). Other words I note: swathed, route (pronounced "rowt" in audio), snuck, plethora
