More All-of-a-Kind Family [Unabridged CD Version]

More All-of-a-Kind Family  [Unabridged CD Version] - Sydney Taylor, Suzanne Toren Oh, now this one stands up to the re-read. Lovely, lovely book. Evocative of the Lower East Side, poised before the First World War. The family is doing better financially, and there's The Wedding to look forward to and be part of. My favorite bit in this book is when Charlie goes downstairs to solemnly tell the shopkeeper, "My mama don't smile on me." This one gets tucked back on the shelf for certain.
