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.
