Review: Five Stars - Good Novel. Carson is a beautiful writer. This is another book that I had to read for class. It was good. I also learned that apparently Alaska has a ton of mosquitos just like the South, lol. Other than that it is about an awkward girl basically finding herself. Carson McCullers did a lot of her writing in my hometown, which is why I think the professor wanted us to read this book. Again as with most of the books on here, this is not something that I would normally choose for myself to read. I am more of a Chaucer lover myself and a lot of the older works such as Beowulf, and a lot of the satires and such from Pope, Lady Montague, etc. I was able to read through this book though relatively easily, and I do not have any complaints about it being a hard read. I was very well updated throughout by the writer about what was happening so I didn't get lost anywhere in it. There is a little bit of a tear jerker within the pages, however that is common in a lot of books. Overall, I would read it again if I had more free time. I kept the book so that says a lot
Review: Thoughtful, reflective coming of age novel - “But a part of her was with them, and she could feel this part of her own self going away, and farther away; farther and farther, so that a drawn-out sickness came in her, going away and farther away, so that the kitchen Frankie was an old hull left there at the table.” I think we can all identify with being young, wanting adventure, and being part of something big and momentous. In Carson McCullers’ The Member of the Wedding, twelve-year-old Frankie longs for something outside of her current life situation. As her brother will married soon, and onto his honeymoon, this perhaps opens the window to Frankie’s hopes… Among other themes and morals, perhaps the most prevalent is Frankie’s pursuit of finding her place and her identity. In many respects, she is at a crossroads in her young life, caught between youth and adolescence, between life at home and the world outside. The novel zeroes in on Frankie’s inner turmoil and exploration of these two boundaries. One of the aspects McCullers handles so well in her novels is exploring the human condition in a uniquely original way, and this is exemplified to a tee in The Member of the Wedding. McCullers takes the reader along with Frankie and we also get to contemplate the struggles of acceptance, understanding one’s self, and finding one’s place. It’s easy to see how this story would work well in a drama format and be converted to a play. In short, The Member of the Wedding is a very contemplative and reflective novel, a coming-of-age story that we can all readily identify with in some manner. It is a very quick and concise read that flies by, and one of those novels that will have you thinking long after you read the final page.

### ⭐⭐⭐ What a strange book
*by J***Y on June 16, 2025*

I thought this would be a quick read, but took longer than expected. It was kind of cute, but nothing happened until the very end. This was drawn out for being such a short book.
