The Green Mile

Book • 1996
The Green Mile is a serial novel by Stephen King that tells the story of Paul Edgecombe, the supervisor of the death row block at Cold Mountain Penitentiary, known as 'The Green Mile' due to the green linoleum floor.

The narrative switches between Paul's time as an old man in a nursing home in 1996 and his experiences in 1932.

The story centers around John Coffey, a giant of a man convicted of raping and murdering two young girls, who possesses inexplicable healing and empathetic abilities.

As the story unfolds, Paul and the other guards discover the truth about John's gift, which challenges their beliefs and leads to a series of dramatic and tragic events.

The novel explores themes of compassion, justice, and the supernatural, and is an example of magical realism.
