It's a great, great read and not hard at all.\" — Oprah Winfrey\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 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 book's heroine (loosely based on McCullers), finds solace in her music.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWonderfully 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatured in Oprah's Book Club 2004","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53317792629078,"sku":"9780618562039-G","price":1.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/anchee-min-empress-orchid-9780618562039","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
