The Book of Jonas by Stephen Dau

I had a very hard time following this book. I was not sure who I was hearing about - when. I think if I'd had some kind of prep before hand - some general knowledge about the story - I'd have been able to follow it better.. might had to read it again at some point - but as of right now, I didn't care for it enough to start it over immediately.

The Book of Jonas by Stephen Dau

An etxraordinary debut novel, superbly crafted, leanly written and profoundly moving. Published for adults but a story older teens can appreciate, too.
