This book is unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was curious if I'd even like this book...but I will treasure it forever!
Have you ever had so much to say about something the feeling left you completely speechless?! That's exactly how I feel about this book.
I felt like I was transported back to 1930's Georgia, like I was Mick Kelly's sibling, Dr. Copeland's patient, a patron of Mr. Brannon's and a friend to John Singer. I don't know how Carson McCullers could have possibly transported me to a mill town in Georgia (80 years ago!) but she did it!
I think I may have fallen completely and madly in love with Mr. Singer!!!!!!! Who cares if he's a mute?! Throughout the novel, he's clearly presented as the saviour for all of these people. At one point, four of his friends (all from completely different walks of life) are in his room spending time with him. This may not seem abnormal but when you look at who's there...it definitely presents itself that way. A 13-year-old girl, an older African-American doctor, a middle-aged drunk, and a middle-aged cafe owner (who appears to at some point have a very creepy crush on said 13-year-old girl! eewww!). Not only do these people find awkwardness within themselves but also amongst each other...they can't find anything to say. He becomes a sort of confidant/secret-keeper (haha, that's a Harry Potter word!) for all of them. Unfortunately, Mr. Singer has some unresolved issues of his own and doesn't have a shoulder of his own to lean on.
ACK!!!!!!!!! Now I can't think.....
