The Member of the Wedding (Carson McCullers)

Carson McCullers
The Member of the Wedding

Whimsical story of a young girl about to go through puberty with a hard scary edge. Reminiscent of Harper Lee's descriptive style. And has a wild young girl. It's a sort of coming of age story darkly sinister in parts with strands of sexuality and naivity. Our heroine is unconnected to those around including close family but once she decides to go out into the world becomes connected to everyone. Philisophical in parts. The ending seems as if she's found herself and is happy but can we really see that she is or still playing fantasy games.
