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 by 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618492398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.72h x 4.90w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/03\/2007 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/25\/2008 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/23\/2009 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/27\/2014 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e539 \/ Member of the Wedding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Carson McCullers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36639511576732,"sku":"9780618492398","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2d3964b7-bb63-434d-bf0e-1ac1f43b0371.jpg?v=1603849938","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-member-of-the-wedding-9780618492398","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
