The aged Judge Clane dreams of resurrecting the confederacy, while his grandson, Jester, is involuntarily drawn to Sherman, a volatile black orphan who feels the sharp sting of racial injustice. Through the eyes of these individuals, the author explores the roots of racial prejudice, and the dual moralities of the towns leading whites.Publisher: Penguin Books LtdAuthor(s): Carson McCullersNumber of pages: 208Collection: Penguin Modern ClassicsPublication date: 1986Dimensions: 197 x 130 x 14Cover type: Paperback / softback
