'Angela's Ashes' is Frank mcCourt's sad, funny, bittersweet memoir of growing up in New York in the 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.See my book ID rja646016 for a UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn thus (Flamingo,1999) edn/example.
