Publisher Description The beloved classic that turned Carson McCullers into an overnight literary sensation and one of the Modern Librarys top 20 novels of the twentieth century."I love this book! Its a great, great read and not hard at all." -- Oprah Winfrey In a Georgia mill town during the 1930s, an enigmatic deaf-mute, John Singer, draws out the haunted confessions of an itinerant worker, a doctor, a widowed café owner, and a young girl. Each yearns for escape from small town life, but the young girl, Mick Kelly, the books heroine (loosely based on McCullers), finds solace in her music.Wonderfully attuned to the spiritual isolation that underlies the human condition, and with a deft sense for racial tensions in the South, McCullers spins a haunting, unforgettable story that gives voice to the rejected, the forgotten, and the mistreated--and, through Mick, gives voice to the quiet, intensely personal search for beauty. Featured in Oprahs Book Club 2004 Author Biography Anchee Min was born in Shanghai in 1957.
