The Member Of The Wedding – Carson McCullers

READ FOR BOOKCLUB

Chosen by Sophia

Troubled teen and tomboy Frankie Addams becomes obsessed with her brother’s wedding plans as she seeks to become a member of something important.

❖ “There is a kind of awkwardness to this book which makes it uncomfortable but distinctive, too. Frankie IS the story and she is a perfect character. She embodies the need to belong and I’m sure everyone could relate to her because of this. Exceptionally well written and enjoyable.” – Rachel
