Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns

4.0

I struggled through the beginning of this book. I couldn't understand why this was recommended. But the characters (especially Will Twead, the narrator) sneak in and as things start happening, I got totally emotional. I hated Aunt Loma and Hosie as much as Will, loved Miss Love and Grandpa as much as Will, and felt deep pity for others). This is a great character-driven book and once I got sucked in, I had a hard time putting it down.
