Angela’s Ashes: A memoir by Frank McCourt Softcover

Angela’s Ashes: A memoir by Frank McCourt Softcover Item is Pre-Owned, please review all photos, one small area of White Out on first blank page. So begins the luminous memoir of 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. **If you're not already a Poshmark member, please feel free to use and share with your friends my referral code : FIDDLEHEADFINDS when joining and get C$15 free and start shopping my closet! 💰**Save 15% when you purchase 2 or more items ✉️**Same or next day shipping 📦**Packed with care ♻️**Recycled materials used whenever possible Happy Poshing!!
