For "almost four weeks" before Light in August begins Lena Grove has been walking on foot to find Lucas Burch. We can assume the roads she has been traveling between Doane's Mill (in Alabama) and the Frenchman's Bend road she has arrived at are country roads, unpaved and bounded by farm land. The narrative describes them as "a peaceful corridor paved with unflagging and tranquil faith and people with kind and nameless faces and voices" (7).
