"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.
