ON SALE APRIL 8, 2008 – THE RED LEATHER DIARYThe Red Leather Diary Book Trailer
..Rescued from a dumpster, a discarded diary brings to life the glamorous, forgotten world of an extraordinary young woman. For more than half a century, the red leather diary lay silent, languishing inside a steamer trunk, its worn cover crumbling into little flakes. When a cleaning sweep of a New York City apartment building brings this lost treasure to light, both the diary and its owner are given a second life.Recovered by Lily Koppel, a young writer working at the New York Times, the journal paints a vivid picture of 1930s New York – horseback riding in Central Park, summer excursions to the Catskills, and an obsession with a famous avant-garde actress. From 1920 to 1934, not a single day’s entry is skipped. Compelled by the hopes and heartaches captured in the pages, Koppel sets out to find the diary’s owner.Click HERE to see a photo slide show and listen to Lily Koppel and Florence Wolfson talk about THE RED LEATHER DIARY .Click HERE for more information and HERE
