Angela's Ashes

A Memoir Of A ChildhoodA sad, funny, bittersweet memoir of growing up in New York in the 1930s and in Ireland in the 1940s.

It is a story of courage and survival against apparently overwhelming odds.A glorious book created out of terrible circumstances.Now a major motion picture.Winner 1997 Pulitzer Prize
Flamingo, 1996. A trade paperback copy in very good condition with a gift inscription to the front page, light age tanning to the pages and creasing to the spine.
