In the wild Old South of the 1940s, Laura and Henry struggle to raise their children on an ungrateful land. Laura knows she will never be happy on this isolated and uncomfortable farm. When two soldiers return from the front, she feels reborn little by little. Poisoned by racism, this universe of mud, desires and death will see savagery sweep everything away... A masterful first novel with a background of noise and fury.
