Book Review

I just finished William Faulkner's-'Light in August.'
Boy oh boy! Just when you think it is too late in the book for the author to add yet another character, he does!
The story begins and ends with a surly young lady named Lena Grove; while her surroundings are in a tumultuous era of civil rights.
Bit by bit another character is added and we see this event or period of time, broken out in each characters view of events.
This is not a light read, but of all I have read of Faulkner, this one I can recommend.
