Jill said, "I enjoyed a new companion novel to Huckleberry Finn called Finn: a novel by Jon Clinch. It's the story of Huck's dad - a racist, sexist drunk who is one of the most interesting characters I have read this year. Here's my book review if you're interested. Oh, it's set in Missouri (for the most part) too!"

Jon Clinch takes us on a journey into the history and heart of one of American literature’s most brutal and mysterious figures: Huckleberry Finn’s father. This is a novel about race; about paternity in its many guises; about the shame of a nation recapitulated by the shame of one absolutely unforgettable family.
