Reader recommendation: The Time of the Panther

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

By Kathy Piselli, Atlanta

I loved The Time of the Panther by Wesley Ford Davis, a coming-of-age story about an orphaned boy raised in an itinerant sawmill camp in 1920s Florida. Events warm, disturbing, and often hilarious are combined with memorable characters and spot-on nature writing.
