Between herself and all the places there was a space like an enormous canyon she could not hope to bridge or cross.â€Ī fascinating read and a story only Carson McCullers can tell in her style. She did not see the earth as in the old days, cracked and loose and turning a thousand miles an hour the earth was enormous and still and flat. “The world was now so far away that Frances could no longer think of it. She was afraid, and there was a queer tightness in her chest.â€Īfter this thing wasn’t meant to be…. €œShe was afraid of these things that made her suddenly wonder who she was, and what she was going to be in the world, and why she was standing at that minute, seeing a light, or listening, or staring up into the sky: alone. Her one hope and escape is hinged on wanting to go with her brother and wife on their honeymoon after she attends their wedding. Her friends consist of a black maid and a 9-year-old boy, and her father is non-existent in her life.
