About this product
Product Information
With delicacy of perception and memory, humour and pathos, Carson McCullers spreads before us the three phases of a weekend crisis in the life of a motherless twelve-year-old-girl. Within the span of a few hours the irresistible, hoydenish Frankie passionately plays out her fantasies at her elder brother's wedding. Through a perilous skylight we look right into the mind of a child torn between the yearning to belong and the urge to run away.Product Identifiers

Tough realism
Frankie aged 12 is on the cusp of adolescence. She feels odd and unconnected in a way that didn’t happen when she was a child. She is on the verge of making more adult discoveries. Left to her own devices she skitters at the edge of danger, not realising her own vulnerability. There are just 3 main characters, Frankie herself, her young cousin John Henry aged 6 and the redoubtable housekeeper Berenice who is with the children every day. Frankie puts a lot of wishful energy into feeling she could be part of her brother’s wedding., going away with him and the bride. Her main feeling of belonging comes from her empathy with her brother and his bride. Things don’t work out quite as she would have wished and there is some suspense right up to the end with a surprising ending. There are some beautiful domestic scenes where Frankie, Johh Henry and Berenice are at home together.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
