The Ballad of the Sad Café (1999)

Second Hand

Excellent Condition

Carson McCullers' extraordinary American Gothic tale of love and betrayal in the Deep South tells the story of Miss Amelia, a very unconventional woman.

A six-foot-two giantess, strong and self-reliant, she married Marvin Macy, the meanest and most handsome man in town, and then threw him out after ten days. Now she runs the local store alone, until Cousin Lymon, a strutting, hunchbacked dwarf, comes to town, steals her heart and transforms the store into a buzzing café.

But when her rejected husband returns, a bizarre love triangle ensues and the battle of the sexes begins.
