John grisham sycamore row review6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Seth Hubbard, a farmer and lumber business man, white, unpopular, hardworking, seemingly a loner, in his 70s, hangs himself under a sycamore tree before cancer finishes his life. ![]() Jake is skint, he has been barely managing financially since the Hailey case and is living in a small rented house since the deliberate burning of their period house. Sycamore Row is set three years later (in 1988) and yet again Jake Brigance finds race is a huge issue in his latest case. ![]() Jake Brigance takes on the case whereby a black man shoots the two white men that raped his young daughter and left her for dead. Sycamore Row is a sequel to A Time To Kill, a book I have read a couple of times as well as watched the film.

Caitriona Murphy wrote a piece for the Farming Independent this week about how an ill-planned will can really bring trauma and heartache – not just if family members fall out when they hear the will but also if the will is challenged in court. Reading Sycamore Row by John Grisham earlier this week, I was struck by how topical the whole issue of trials over wills can be. ![]()
