Beschrijving
Stunning reissue of the phenomenal worldwide bestseller: 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 brings 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 with 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.
