Synopsis:

Early in the 20th century, the town of Cold Sassy is scandalized when Will Tweedy's grandfather recklessly marries, just three weeks after the death of his wife, a young Yankee milliner named Miss Love. Olive Ann Burns's beloved novel is not only a poignant and comic coming-of-age story but a shrewd picture of an insular community gradually accepting the transformations that inevitably accompany the coming of modern times.

Book Reviews:

"One of the best portraits of small-town Southern life ever written."

- Pat Conroy ()
