«Les cendres d'Angela» is Frank McCourt's autobiography, published by France Loisirs in hardback (428 pages, in French).
The book recalls Frank McCourt's childhood in impoverished Ireland: the misery of Limerick, the hunger, and the alcoholism of his father Malachy. His mother, Angela, supports the children as best she can, while Frank clings to his father's stories and a humour that turns desolation into hope.
It is the first instalment of the Frank McCourt series. The French edition is from 1998; the original work, «Angela's Ashes», from 1996, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1997.
For readers of memoirs and autobiographies, especially those interested in the social history of Ireland.
