Angela´s Ashes is Frank McCourt´s sad, funny, bittersweet memoir of growing up in New York in the late ´30s and in Ireland in the ´40s. It is a story of extreme hardship and suffering, in Brooklyn tenements and Limerick slums; too many children, too little money, his mother Angela barely coping as his father Malachy´s drinking bouts constantly brought the family to the brink of disaster. It is a story of courage and survival against apparently overwhelming odds. Written with the vitality and resonance of a work of fiction, and a remarkable absence of sentimentality, Angela´s Ashes is imbued on every page with Frank McCourt´s distinctive humour and compassion. Out of terrible circumstances, he has created a glorious book in the tradition of Ireland´s literary masters, which bears all the marks of a great classic. 1. Language: English.
