Wow! Tried to read this book years ago but couldn’t get through it; too sad. Not sure why, but this time around I was able to read the entire book rather quickly. I was struck by the large vocabulary of the author. Fortunately, the book is on my Kindle so it was easy to look up words:); don’t think I’ve ever had to look up so many words. The author chooses his words carefully such that they never seem superfluous. Styron is an amazing storyteller and a joy to read; however, the subject matter is very sad. One of the better novels I've ever read.
