Like all Faulkner books, I didn't actually enjoy reading this; but I still felt compelled to finish despite having successfully navigated my way through 2 classes without doing the daily reading. So there is something there about it, which is why it gets 2 stars. 
Also I'm am very glad I live in the time when authors give you information straight up rather rather than give you bits and pieces and hope you put it together because dear god if it wasn't for Wikipedia I would have no idea what just happened.

Spolit, feckless Temple Drake, the daughter of a judge, runs away from school with an unsuitable man. Abandoned by him with a gang of moonshiners, Temple falls into the clutches of the psychotic Popeye, one of the most grotesque characters of Faulkner's imagination. A compelling, shocking tale of perverted justice in the Deep South, Sanctuary is also a moving plea for courage in the darkest of circumstances.
