For today's interesting blog i am reading a book called Cold Sassy Tree, I'm not very far in it, I'm like on page 40 and i have like many more to go but so far its about.... It takes place in the year 1914, so a while back, and the novels narrator is Will Tweedy, and he is telling us what the summer was back in 1906 in Cold Sassy when he was only 14 years old. His interesting story begins on July5, 1906, right after Cold Sassy first fourth of July celebration since the Civil War. He talks about how his grampa stopped by his house and had some pretty surprising news to tell his family and that is, that he is going to get married to Miss Love Simpson, the pretty young hat- maker who works at his store. And to there surprise they are shocked and appalled. They dont think its right to marry such a young women and so soon after the death of his wife that he was soo close to.
