What's the trick? ... the word February has to be mentioned somewhere in the book?

We were posting together, Gaeta... I have a whacking headache today, and I can't figure it out either.

Sorry ladies - just updated the description box

Thanks Chelsea - what a meeting of minds happened there, and not all of a literary bent either.

Oh dear. I've failed this test - haven't read any of them!

psst Bettie... the house was in Brooklyn Heights, not Manhattan.

House no longer there :-( Razed when they built the Expressway.

Don't worry Helen, there will be more along the way, it is early days yet.

It is the willingness to play that I love to see, so thanks!
:O)

yes

Thanks Tatuu, and all, for the likes AND for playing along.

I shall start the next section of the book in just a little while, maybe there will be something in there for you then.
:O)

Shame about the house. It is/was beautiful.

Middagh street is there, and I went to look on the "street view", but you come to a dead end and a cement barrier. Kinda neat anyway, come to think about it.

Ivan says: 7 Middagh Street literally doesn't exist any longer. It was torn down to make way for an Expressway.

:O)

I see you had already posted about that. Sorry.

Gysey Rose Lee at Middagh

Right! got it. Thanks for the link Hayes. The fruity names of the other streets around are mentioned in the book. There is also a fab photo included mid-way through that was taken from the top box window looking out over the Brooklyn Bridge.

I used to live in Brooklyn, on Sterling Place. Loved that apartment. 1st floor (2nd for the Americans) of a loverly old brownstone near Atlantic Avenue. Near the Brooklyn Museum and the Public Liberry... Sigh ...

A return someday?
:O)

Wouldn't that be nice... I later found that my maternal grandmother was born nearby. If I had known at the time I would have gone to find her house.

Well I've read one so that's a bonus!
