A Death in the Family by James Agee (18 of 1294)



A Death in the Family is an autobiographical novel that deals with a sudden death in the family, and how the family reacts to the death.  The book was published posthumously after Agee died of a heart attack at the age of 45.

While the subject was sad, it was a powerful book that I enjoyed reading.  It's definitely not one of those books that will pick you up, it feels real and well worth reading.

My rating: 4 stars
