Clock Without Hands
by Carson McCullers
What a clever and thoughtful portrayal of life in the south following the American Civil War. How discrimination can be masked as moral and justified as duty.
I want to read more by McCullers after this book.
Each of the characters were so deeply displayed in such a short amount of pages. McCullers managed to beautifully illustrate both the humanness and inhumanness of each of them. You couldn't help but feel for each of them, even the Judge in his own wretched way.
This book is a poignant reminder of how far we have come but how far we still have to go. My only complaint is that I wish the ending finished with more of a sting.
