This week I read Angela's Ashes. Book written by Frank
McCourt, who at 66 years old narrated his childhood in Ireland.
The copy you enjoy has the Spanish translation of
Carlos José Restrepo. It belongs to the second edition made by Editorial Norma.
The novel was printed in Buenos Aires around January 1998.
The book tells the whole childhood and adolescence of
Frank Mc Court. That's why I'm going to tell you a little about your life
without spoiling your book.
Mc Court was born in New York in 1930 and when he was
three and a half years old, his family went to live in Limerick, Ireland.
Frank McCourt with his family endured serious
illnesses, work and regrets before returning to the United States at nineteen.
At twenty, Mc Court joined the US Army serving his
homeland for two years in Germany. He later joined the University of New York
and graduated in 1957 becoming a brilliant professor.
I totally recommend your reading. A person may not
have Celtic origins and love this work without hypocrecia.
