I've been doing Throwback Thursdays for a while but I noticed that I wrote a lot of reviews in a short time when I first started. One of my blogger friends always posts the reviews of one month but that would be too much. So, these are my reviews from the third part of November 2011.
Denuzière, Maurice "Louisiana" (F: Louisiane. Trilogie) - 1977
A fabulous description of the life in Louisiana during the time of river steamboats and plantations.
Mağden, Perihan "Two Girls" (TR: İki Genç Kızın Romanı) - 2002
A story of two girls in Istanbul. They come from totally different backgrounds but form a unique bond.
McCourt, Frank "'Tis: A Memoir" (Frank McCourt #2) - 1999
Powers, Charles T. "In the Memory of the Forest" - 1997
The novel talks about Poland after the Second World War, about the skeletons in the closet. A community tries to forget its past, its involvement in the Holocaust. It tells the story of ordinary people trying to survive in an ordinary world.
Truss, Lynne "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" - 2005
It's a hilarious book for those people who do know the use of the apostrophe (and other parts of the English grammar that seems to be so difficult to learn for some) and see a mistake right away. A book for us grammar nerds.

What happens after "Angela's Ashes"? Frank McCourt leaves Ireland and goes back to the States. We all know that he became a teacher and then wrote his book but haven't heard anything from the time in between. This can be learned in his second book.
