Maybe it is just that both of them seem to exude that sharp and vibrant writing style that marks them as a modern classic. Maybe it was just all in my head from my association with the two books in my childhood, but a certain quality under the surface seemed to resonate in each of these two books. It finally landed when my book club planned out our reading for 2020 and voted to read it in February for the relationships genre.Īnd surprisingly, even though the protagonists, storylines, and settings are markedly different between the two books, there was something about the writing that actually did end up reminding me of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. But Cold Sassy Tree remained unread, even though it seemed to get tossed around quite often as a suggestion at various book clubs over the years.
Not knowing anything about either of them, I kind of thought of them as the same book-probably because they both had the word "tree" in their titles.Īs an adult, I eventually picked up A Tree Grows in Brooklyn almost ten years ago, and I fell in love with everything about it. When I was a kid, I can remember seeing both A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and Cold Sassy Tree on our bookshelves. Just a heads up: In the course of this review, I mention a couple of things that might be considered spoilers, so continue at your own risk.
