Night Road

 

Night Road by Kristin Hannah
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Let’s say a person is holding a full glass of water. Someone comes along and jostles her arm. What will spill out of the glass? Water, of course. Why doesn’t juice spill out? Because only water is in the glass. Jude, the helicopter mother in this story, gets jostled big time. And what spills out of her is anger, grief, depression, selfishness, meanness, and an inability to forgive. All of us will be jostled in our lives. Trials and hardships are part of being human. Unlike Jude, I hope we will be full of goodness, so that’s what comes out of our glasses when those hardships come.
This is a page-turning, emotional novel. It is full of sadness. But it is thought-provoking and has some very lovable characters. I give it 4 stars. Language is an issue.
