Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Fair dj. 1st Edition (H-D). [moderate wear to top edges of covers, rubbing to paper label on front cover, a little discoloration to endpapers and first few pages at front of book, original owner's acquisition note on ffep; jacket chipped along top edge and along spine, very faded at spine (all lettering gone), general wear and soiling]. "Against a novel setting this vivid story of fourteen year old Carmella, daughter of Italian peasants and child of the Italian quarter of an American city, catches the very spirit of Americanization and what it means to our foreign born citizens." The book was the winner of the American Girl-Harper prize contest, as "the best book of fiction for girls"; one of the judges was novelist Kathleen Norris. The author was a longtime newspaper editor in Providence, Rhode Island; this was apparently his only published book of fiction -- which kinda makes you wonder what would compel a man in his early 50s to write a novel for a young female readership? ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
