Lottery by Patricia Wood
Read "Lottery" for our book club. Loved the way the author made the reader see how Perry, the main character, may have been "slow" but he was very capable and could do many things wonderfully. I'm anxious to hear what the other ladies thought of this wonderful book. I highly recommend this book!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
