Grass Harp
Grass Harp | Truman Capote
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. "

I‘m so glad for this prompt @BarbaraBB because I‘ve wanted to post this book for ages but this is the first time it fits a prompt. I love this story so much so my husband bought me this UK first edition (calling @LeahBergen #firsteditionqueen 😘) ten years or more ago. It‘s about an orphaned boy living with his elderly aunts - ⬇️

Centique one day after a family argument, he and one aunt make a moral stand by moving to live in the big old tree he loves to play in. 5y
Kaye One of my favorite books. Very neat copy ! 5y

I love Capote‘s stories that are so sweet and endearing and that take place in the south. The ridiculous but hilarious image of all those people up in the tree house was so perfect! Wonderful characters, well-written and charming!

I am a little excited to have found this at a local thrift store today. I‘ve never read his short stories prior to his becoming famous with Breakfast at Tiffany‘s” and “In Cold Blood “. And yes, the thrift store‘s name is out of the closet. I try and support them because of their work with HIV testing.

Kaye Oh my gosh. You are in for such a treat. The Grass Harp is beautiful. 7y
