Title : Angela's Ashes - Frank McCourt - book
Summary :
When I look back on my childhood, the mere fact of having survived amazes me. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: a happy childhood is rarely worth dwelling on. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable childhood in Ireland. And worse still is the miserable childhood in Catholic Ireland. " This is what Frank McCourt describes in this autobiographical account. The father, Malachy, is an irresponsible charmer. When, by chance, he finds work, he goes drinking his wages in pubs and comes home at night bawling patriotic songs. Angela, the mother, swallows her pride to beg. Frankie, the eldest of the siblings, watches the little ones, gets up to mischief with his friends. And, above all, observes the adult world. The magic of Frank McCourt is to have rediscovered his child's perspective, to revive the most miserable of pasts without any bitterness.
