You will certainly laugh. You might possibly cry. And undoubtedly you will find The Charlatan’s Boy speaking to your own heart and life. Jonathan Rogers’ latest novel is a story that combines charm, humor and insight in such a way as to make a unique impression upon the reader. You almost get the sense that you are listening to the yarn of an old, southern gentleman, while sipping sweet tea on the front porch. There is a certain flow that carries you along like a river; a purposeful meandering that allows you to take in those moments when you realize that you are hearing your own story. In the way that only good fiction can, Charlatan’s Boy is a clear window through which you are able to gaze upon your own existence. Who doesn’t want to belong? Who doesn’t give consideration to who they really are, to their true identity from time to time? Mr. Rogers explores these questions and themes, and even poses some witty insights on the subject of community. Of course, to even speak of the story in such categories is almost a disservice, so buy a copy and enjoy. It is a great read for the whole family.
