Angela's Ashes
This is the bestselling memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants, Angela and Malachy, and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland.
Wearing rags for diapers, begging a pig's head for Christmas dinner and gathering coal from the roadside to light a fire, Frank endures poverty, near-starvation and the casual cruelty of relatives and neighbours yet lives to tell his tale with eloquence, exuberance and remarkable forgiveness.
Angela's Ashes, imbued on every page with Frank McCourt's astounding humour and compassion, is a glorious book that bears all the marks of a classic.
