«Frankie y la boda» is the novel by Carson McCullers, published by Austral in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative follows Frankie, a twelve-year-old girl who feels out of place and becomes obsessed with her older brother's wedding; she believes that going away with him and his future wife will let her escape her life and belong to something. McCullers delicately portrays the emotional turmoil of the transition to adolescence, loneliness, and the search for identity.
The novel was originally published in 1946 and appears here in a translation by María Campuzano, as volume 790 of the Contemporánea collection.
For readers of literary fiction and twentieth-century American classics, interested in adolescent sensibility and loneliness.
Carson McCullers was an American novelist, short-story writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Her first novel, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940), explores the spiritual isolation of misfits and outcasts in a small town of the Southern United States. Her other novels have similar themes. Most are set in the Deep South.
