Looks interesting.

A wonderful book, I enjoyed reading very much!

Kommt mit ins Kish. Gute Reise und viel Spass beim Lesen!:-)

Ich habe das Buch heute auf dem Treffen im persischen Restaurant eingefangen und freue mich schon darauf, es zu lesen.

"It stinks of piss in the room," reads the grabby, gritty opening sentence of Rush Home Road. A five-year-old girl is noticing that stink: Sharla Cody, a neglected, mixed-race girl, unwanted by her trailer park mother Collette.

What Sharla actually smells isn't urine but the odor of a bouquet of small white flowers called Alyssum in another trailer. It belongs to Addy Shadd, "an old, cigarette-smoking coloured lady from the mud lane of the Lakeview trailer park, twenty miles outside of Chatham, Ontario." Addy and the runny-nosed little "half-and-half" Sharla will fall into a strange sort of mother-daughter relationship that will form the deep core of the novel, set in 1978. We discover bit by bit Addy's life story - in the end all parts fit together.

I finally read this fantastic, wonderful, awesome book. I like the style of writing, the persons in the book, the storyline ... everything :-) It is funny, sad, tragic ... and I cried a LOT. I also learned a lot about the history of black people in Canada.

Thank you so much for sharing this book with me.
