Description
Angela's Ashes is a memoir that bears all the marks of a powerful story. Born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants, Frank McCourt was raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland, where poverty and near-starvation were a harsh reality. Frank's childhood was marked by casual cruelty from relatives and neighbors, yet he endured with remarkable forgiveness. His father, Malachy, though exasperating and irresponsible, nurtured in Frank an appetite for stories - tales that would become the foundation of his survival. Wearing rags for diapers, begging a pig's head for Christmas dinner, and gathering coal to light a fire were just a few ways Frank coped with poverty. It is this story, born from the hardships of his childhood, that Frank McCourt tells with eloquence and exuberance, leaving an indelible mark on those who read it.
