Giveaway: The Red Leather Diary

Summary: For more than half a century, the red leather diary languished inside a steamer trunk. Rescued from a Dumpster on Manhattan's Upper West Side, it found its way to Lily Koppel, a young writer, who opened its tarnished brass lock and journeyed into an enthralling past. The diary painted a breathtaking portrait of a bygone New York—of glamorous nights at El Morocco and elegant teas at Schrafft's during the 1920s and '30s—and of the headstrong, endearing teenager who filled its pages with her hopes, heartaches, and vivid recollections. Intrigued, Koppel followed her only clue, a frontispiece inscription, to its now ninety-year-old owner, Florence Wolfson, and was enchanted as Florence, reunited with her diary, rediscovered a lost younger self burning with artistic fervor.

Joining intimate interviews with original diary entries, The Red Leather Diary re-creates the romance and promise of a remarkable era and brings to life the true story of a daring, precocious young dreamer. -- Harper Perennial

I was going to wait to do a giveaway for THE RED LEATHER DIARY: RECLAIMING A LIFE THROUGH THE PAGES OF A LOST JOURNAL by Lily Koppel until I finished reading and reviewing it. Then I thought, what the heck? It is the week of the Book Giveaway Carnival! (I promise that I will be reading it and sharing my thoughts with you in the very near future.)

For one entry, leave a comment with your e-mail address telling me why you want to read this book! For an extra entry (or two), you can blog about this contest with a link back to this post and/or tweet about it! This contest is open until Saturday, March 7th at 11:59 p.m. I will announce the winner the following day! This contest is open to those of you with U.S. or Canada mailing addresses only. Good luck!

    I'm so glad you are giving this away. I think it would be interesting to read because it is so personal. As a student, I loved Diary of Anne Frank for that very reason. I learned so much about the character.

    I heard about this book on another book blog and was surprised at how disappointed I was not to win the drawing. Apparently I wanted to read this book far more than I realized. I find it enchanting to be able to read the memoirs of a young woman during the 1920's-30's, more so that in her 90's she was reunited with the diary.

    Thanks for entering me in this drawing. If I don't win this one, I'm going to have to break down and actually buy the book. Indigo

    I would love to read this book, because it takes place in the era my Grandmother lived....I imagine reading this diary would be very similiar to reading my Grandmothers.
    Thanks,

    It sounds like a really interesting book. And it also sounds like it'd be insightful.

    I'd truly enjoy this book for a number of reasons. First of all is the fact that my entire life, I've thought that a dream job would be going through people's attics before estate sales or if they no longer wanted the contents for whatever reason.

    The main reason for that is because I would love finding old pictures, mementoes, and especially things like journals and diaries.

    In its own way, this book would be almost like getting to do that for a little while. :-)
