Synopsis
Set in a small Cajun community in the late 1940s, 'A Lesson Before Dying' is an 'enormously moving' ('Los Angeles Times') novel of one man condemned to die for a crime he did not commit and a young man who visits him in his cell. In the end, the two men forge a bond as they both come to understand the simple heroism of resisting--and defying--the expected. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction.
