The Bundren family's world crumbles when matriarch Addie takes her final breath in their Mississippi farmhouse. Outside her window, her eldest son Cash meticulously builds her coffin, each saw stroke echoing through the stifling summer air. This striking image sets the stage for one of literature's most harrowing journeys-a family's quest to honor their mother's dying wish to be buried forty miles away in Jefferson with her blood relatives. What follows is no simple funeral procession but a nightmarish odyssey that will test each family member's resolve and expose the complex web of love, resentment, and madness binding them together. The Bundrens are a study in damaged humanity: Anse, the selfish patriarch who hides behind a facade of duty; Cash, the methodical carpenter whose quiet competence masks deep feeling; Darl, whose perceptive intelligence borders on supernatural; Jewel, fierce and action-oriented, born from Addie's secret affair; Dewey Dell, the only daughter concealing her pregnancy; and young Vardaman, who in his confusion famously declares "My mother is a fish." As they load Addie's coffin onto their wagon and set off toward Jefferson, they have no idea how their journey will transform them-or what secrets will surface along the way.
