Requiem For A Nun: William Faulkner

`The past is never dead. It`s not even past.`

Nancy, a black nursemaid, is about to be hanged for killing her mistress`s baby. The mother, Temple Drake, knows the reason why. The night before the execution, a lawyer pleads with Temple to intercede, but will the past allow for justice or absolution in the present? Switching between narrative prose and play script, this is Faulkner`s haunting sequel to his earlier bestseller, Sanctuary.
