Why read it?
1 author picked My Book of Life by Angel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My Book of Life by Angel is an unlikely subject for a novel in verseāthe life of a young prostitute on Vancouverās East side. Drugs, illness, abandonment, violence are all shown in a first-person narrative of incredible sensitivity and honesty. It is a novel that will both open and break your heart as you see life on the street through Angelās flawed and imperfect humanity. I love the grace and delicacy of Leavittās poetry as it contrasts with the horror of Angelās life.
From Amanda's list on prose-poetry about childhood in a messy world.
