Sobre IBD

In this novel the South looms dark and ominous in the background with its Biblical rhetoric its conflict between a tradition of religious fundamentalism and modern scepticism racial contrasts and the industrialisation of a rural society. But more than a novel of time and place it is the story of a tormented family submerged in infidelity and driven by a vengeful love that is blocked hurt and perverted. Peyton Loftis who frantically needs a husband precisely because she loves her father; the decadent Milton whose infidelity has made his marriage no more than a stage drama; and Helen his wife who loves only what she can control - her crippled daughter Maudie or the childish part of her husband. This extraordinarily powerful novel is the portrait of a family who in the words of Sir Thomas Browne in his URN BURIAL ’all lie down in darkness’.
