A review by lauraellis
Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns

4.0

This is an excellent book and a wonderful portrayal of [white] life in the South in 1906, when my grandfather's elder sisters and brothers were young. I read it and lived it when it first came out in 1984 and I gave a copy to my grandfather, who also really liked it.

Now, re-reading it for the book club [in 1996], I appreciated it even more, especially in contrast to _Boy's Life_, and I appreciated some of the themes, such as what God means when he says "Ask and it shall be given...." A truly great book and great author.
