As the title suggests, BREAD & MOLASSES, by Andy MacDonald is filled with the countless crazy capers of a poor Cape Breton coal miner's son in the hungry thirties.
Andy MacDonald and his ten brothers and sisters never had quite enough to eat. But always resourceful, Andy once ate an orange flavoured cardboard duck to supplement a meager Christmas dinner. Andy not only survived; he also lived to write about the bitter-sweet and hilarious tales of growing up and living on the edge of a poor coal-mining town during the dirtiest of the thirties.
"My whole family loves this book. We have to take turns reading aloud when we are overcome with hysterics. One of my all time favourite books!" -Reviewed by Cody on Goodreads.
