CApote was such a great writer. It's a shame that he let his talent fritter away as he got older & decided to live the life of a celebrity instead of a serious artist. (  ) etxgardener | Nov 17, 2009 |  Book Group. An autobiorgraphical novel filled with wonderful and imaginative Southern characters.

(  ) wktarin | Aug 25, 2008 | ktoonen | May 6, 2008 | Capote's early works are among the most tender and exquisite in American literature. Pathos, love, and all the eccentricity many readers have come to expect in classic Southern female characters. (  ) starlightink | May 1, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679745572, Paperback)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 "unobstrusively beautiful...a superlative book."
