FRANK MCCOURT - GEBRAUCHT ANGELAS ASHES - PREIS...

"When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive 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". 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.
