Sanctuary

This book follows the character Temple Drake.  The book is about sex slavery, rape, and murder.  In many ways, it is more of a book covering topics of today instead of the 30’s.  William Faulkner isn’t the easiest author to read.  I gave up The Sound and the Fury.  None of the characters are redeemable in this book but I kept reading anyway.  There was a movie with Miriam Hopkins called The Story of Temple Drake.  Leonard Maltin gave it a high rating.  For some reason, it’s not available.  Neither is the Lee Remick version called Sanctuary.  I wish these were available.  When you read a book you usually want to see the movie of it and this wasn’t possible for me concerning both movies.

  1. Go back to The Sound and the Fury sometime - it's so good!
