Cold Sassy Tree
Cold Sassy Tree
Author: Olive Ann Burns
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed One of my favorites on
Helpful Score: 2


Once you get into this book you will literally start to think in a dialect and accent. I found it charming and heartwarming. The characters each had personalities and weaknesses I think everyone can relate to in one way or another. I found this book a long time past when it had been on my list of required reading for a class (no...i didn't read it then!) and was so glad I did. I have begged friends to read it just to make sure I wasn't crazy, and they assured me that,although my faculties are still in question, it is a great book. The sequal did not measure up, sadly Ms Burns passed away before finishing and though dissapointed that I could not get more of those characters and the setting, it is still a book I enjoy picking up and re-reading.
