Born in depression-era Brooklyn to Irish immigrants, Frank McCourt experienced a childhood fraught with poverty and occasional cruelty. When the family moved back to Limerick, Ireland, Frank endured the most miserable of childhoods. From harrowing family episodes to the surprizing, indefatigable spirit of McCourt, this memoir is an absorbing read from start to finish. An astonishing, glorious debut, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Angela's Ashes recounts McCourt's experience with remarkable exuberance and remarkable forgiveness. | Angela's Ashes by Frank Mccourt, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
