William Faulkner's blistering story of love that breaks the unwritten commandment !
The once-prominent Compson family of Jefferson, Miss., has been reduced to near-penury by generations of alcoholism and sin.

When Quentin's estranged mother reappears in town, and carnival worker Charles attempts to seduce the virginal teen, the family may finally be headed for complete collapse.
