In this book, Frank McCourt narrates his experiences as an immigrant when he arrives in New York at the age of nineteen. The story begins with his trip to the United States in 1949, accompanied only by a priest he met on the ship. His first job in a hotel introduces him to the hierarchies of a supposedly classless society. After overcoming various obstacles, he manages to enter New York University, where he completes his studies and prepares to become a professor. McCourt offers new lessons in humanity and survival, with the same humorous tone that captivated readers of 'Angela's Ashes'.
Francis McCourt was an Irish-American teacher and writer. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his book Angela's Ashes, a tragicomic memoir of the misery and squalor of his childhood.
