Liebe, Lachen und ein Mord - hier gibt's einfach alles.

I couldn't leave the book in the OBCZ and so it followed me to Dresden. I heard so much about the movie - I acually never saw.
Now it will have to wait a little bit before reading.

An old Lady in a Nursery Home tells a visitor a bit of her own story and takes her back to the times when the KuKluxClan terrorized whole cities and raceism is daily life.
A brilliantly told story with excellent charakters.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

The book will start its travel again at the Bookcrossing World Convention 2010 in Amsterdam.

I LOVED this book! So well done. Some important issues explored without preaching. Good characters, interesting tales.

So I snarfed this one up quick smart when I saw it. Will press it on some unwary reader.

An enjoyable read that became better as the book progressed. The different strings of the story came together giving a satisfactory ending. I am tempted to try a few of the recipes, although some of the ingredients are new to me, or would be difficult to find in Australia. Cornstarch, cornmeal, corn syrup and hot red pepper flakes would be difficult to find, and I have no idea what Crisco and grits are (but then there’s always the internet).

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I took this book to my local BookCrossing meet, held this time at Floriade flower festival in Parkes, ACT, but no-one took it. Besides, most of the people there had already read and enjoyed it. I will try to find another reader.
