Member of the Weddingby Carson Mccullers
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When she was only twenty-three Carson McCuller's first novel The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter, created a literary sensation. She is very special, once of American's superlative writers who conjures up a vision of existence as terrible as it is real, who takes us on shattering voyages into the depths of the spiritual isolation that underlies the human condition.
"Rarely has emotional turbulence been so delicately conveyed," said The New York Times of Carson McCullers's achingly real novel about Frankie Addams, a bored twelve-year-old madly jealous of her brother's impending marriage. Frankie was afraid of the dark and envious of the older girls. But as F. Jasmine, in a pink dress, she looked sixteen. No longer a child, she accepted a date with a red-haired soldier and purchased a sophisticated gown for the wedding. F. Jasmine had plans. Synopsis:Twelve-year-old Frankie Addams is jealous of her brother's impending marriage and envious of the older girls. When she dons a pink dress, she looks 16 years old, accepts a date with a soldier, and purchases a sophisticated gown for the wedding.
