The grass harp - Truman Capote

Set in a small Southern town in the 1930s, this classic work tells the story of three endearing misfits--an orphaned boy and two whimsical old ladies--who one day take up residence in a tree house.

Now a major motion picture from Fine Line Features, starring Sissy Spacek, Walter Matthau, Piper Laurie, and Nell Carter.

Set on the outskirts of a small Southern town, The Grass Harp tells the story of three endearing misfits--an orphaned boy and two whimsical old ladies--who one day take up residence in a tree house.

As they pass sweet yet hazardous hours in a china tree, The Grass Harp manages to convey all the pleasures and responsibilities of freedom.

But most of all it teaches us about the sacredness of love, that love is a chain of love, as nature is a chain of life.

This volume also includes Capote's A Tree of Night and Other Stories , which the Washington Post called unobtrusively beautiful .

a superlative book.
