The Trouble With Goats And Sheep by Joanna Cannon

The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s the middle of heat wave in 1976 and woman has disappeared in the avenue. Everyone is on edge. With this as the backdrop, Grace and Tilly (aged 10, ish) decide to go searching for God, just to be sure that he’s in the avenue, keeping everyone safe.

This is a story about small communities and groups judging people because they are different. It’s a bit like Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, because the outcast is judged...
