Clock Without Hands by Carson McCullers

4.0

---

I love McCullers depiction of small town southern US. Taking place in the 1950s, racial equality continues to rise despite the white power structure and its intimidation, violence and superior attitudes. This is the story of an old judge and former congressman, his grandson and the people in their lives. The grandson can't swallow the old judge's attitudes, the blue-eyed black kid with an attitude and a past known only to the judge, the pharmacist dying of cancer The story is sad and the end is violent. Another tragedy for the old south.
