I didn't go through the same sort of withdrawal from <i> The Member of the Wedding</i>. That said, it really wasn't bad. I probably didn't LOVE it because the main character was so odd and mostly unlikeable. However, she was SUPPOSED to be odd and unlikeable; that was part of the point. So McCullers accomplished just what she wanted to. It's a "coming of age" novel, I guess, but one written for adults. It's dark and frank, moody and uncertain, which is pretty much the way it feels to be twelve. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/284689?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
