Frankie ist die Geschichte eines Reifeprozesses und einer großen Sehnsucht, der Sehnsucht, dabeizusein: beim Leben der Erwachsenen, hier bei der Hochzeit des Bruders, der von einer fremden Frau entführt wird. Frankies Ruf "Nehmt mich mit!", der ungehört dem abreisenden Paar nachhallt, ist der verzweifelte Ruf, den jedes alleingelassene Kind kennt.The novel that became an award-winning play and a major motion picture and that has charmed generations of readers, Carson McCullers"s classic "The Member of the Wedding" is available in small- format trade paperback for the first time. Here is the story of the inimitable twelve-year-old Frankie, who is utterly, hopelessly bored with life until she hears about her older brother"s wedding. Bolstered żeby lively conversations with her house servant, Berenice, and her six-year-old male cousin - not to mention her own unbridled imagination - Frankie takes on an overly active role in the wedding, hoping even to go, uninvited, on the honeymoon, so deep is her desire to be the member of something larger, more accepting than herself. "A marvelous study of the agony of adolescence" (Detroit Free Press), "The Member of the Wedding" showcases Carson McCullers at her most sensitive, astute, and lasting best.
