Book Club – Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns
Led by Marcy Manas and Liz Morley
16:00 Tuesday 28 April
Our Book Talk meets once a month. Books are available to borrow from the Gura Family Memorial Library.
In 1906 Cold Sassy, Georgia, gossip spreads fast—especially when Grandpa E. Rucker Blakeslee announces he will marry the young milliner Miss Love Simpson just three weeks after his wife’s death. The scandal rocks the town, and fourteen-year-old Will Tweedy becomes both witness and participant in the upheaval.
As chaperone and confidant to his unconventional grandfather, Will watches the surprising romance unfold while navigating his own coming-of-age year—surviving a train accident, first love, and the bittersweet shift from childhood to adolescence. Warm, funny, and richly drawn, Cold Sassy Tree captures small-town Southern life at the turn of the century and the growing pains of change.
