Roman glasovitog američkog pisca koji kritika prosuđuje ga kao njegovo najkompleksnije djelo. Faulkner kroz lik trudne djevojke Lene Grove, koja je u potrazi za ocem svog nerođenog djeteta, daje prikaz cjelokupnog tadašnjeg društva u doba krize.
Roman prati Lenu Grove, trudnu mladu ženu koja putuje u potrazi za ocem svog djeteta, Lucasa Burcha. Istovremeno, priča se fokusira na Joea Christmasa, čovjeka nejasnog podrijetla koji vjeruje da ima crnačke krvi, što ga tjera u unutarnju i vanjsku borbu s identitetom. Christmas ubija ženu kod koje je radio, što izaziva lanac događaja koji dovode do njegovog brutalnog smaknuća. Pastor Hightower, čovjek opsjednut prošlošću, igra ključnu ulogu u priči, dok Lena naposljetku nastavlja svoje putovanje, simbolizirajući nadu i neprekidni životni ciklus.
