Angela's Ashes: A Memoir

A Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, Angela's Ashes is Frank McCourt's masterful memoir of his childhood in Ireland.

Born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland, McCourt endures poverty, near-starvation and the casual cruelty of relatives and neighbors, yet lives to tell his tale with eloquence, exuberance, and remarkable forgiveness.
