Small Moving Parts by D.B. Jackson
5.0
I took a chance on this book, and I’m so glad that I did. I found this book on audible and it sounded interesting. I’d never heard of this author the book, and the narrator was someone who I had never listened to before. While that made me a little nervous, it was free, so I decided “why not?” I downloaded it, listened, And I LOVED it.
I love gritty, emotional stories and this one definitely starts out pretty dark. But one of my favorite tropes is when two characters meet in unlikely circumstances and they have adventures together, they grow a close bond, and the story has a beautiful ending. This book definitely has that! Harland and Dodger are now one of my favorite character duos! I’m also a sucker for westerns/western-like stories. It’s something about the desert and cowboy hats and horses and farm life that really draws me in!
I really liked the title, and I think that quote I put above perfectly captures the story and life itself. It reminds me of the butterfly effect, and the fact that we all really are connected in one way or another.
This book is a mid-century southern drama that is so well written and has such well rounded, endearing characters. The narrator, Mark Bramhall, was also AMAZING. I couldn’t listen to this book fast enough, honestly. I would HIGHLY recommend it!
