Angela's Ashes

by Frank MCourt. 

Paperback published 1997. In good condition. 

"When I look back on my childhood, I wonder how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood."

An amazing and gripping memoir, superbly written. Winner of the 1997 Pulitzer Prize. This has become a modern classic for a reason - it's simply a great book.
