Angela's Ashes
Category: Biography
Author: Frank McCourt
Copyright/published Year: 1996 by Scribner
ISBN: 0684874350
Binding: Trade Pap
Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish
immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank's
mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank's
father, Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his
wages. Yet Malachy -- exasperating, irresponsible and beguiling--
does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can
provide: a story. Frank lives for his father's tales of
Cuchulain, who saved Ireland, and of the Angel on the Seventh
Step, who brings his mother babies.
Perhaps it is story that accounts for Frank's survival.
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 neighbors--yet lives to tell his tale with
eloquence, exuberance and remarkable forgiveness.
Angela's Ashes, imbued on every page with Frank
McCourt's astounding humor and compassion, is a glorious book
that bears all the marks of a classic.
