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.

Angela McCourt, mother of the seven McCourt children, enabled her husband Malachy McCourt Sr. to be a drunk. No where throughout this memoir does she put her foot down, encouraging Malachy Sr. to quit drinking Cited: McCourt, Frank. As Angela’s Ashes opens, Frank describes how his parents meet and marry in New York, then eventually move back to Ireland with their four sons. He characterizes his upbringing as a typical miserable Irish Catholic childhood, complete with a drunken father and a downtrodden, browbeaten mother. He tells of Limerick’s interminable rain, which spreads disease throughout the town. Frank then backtracks and tells the story of his mother and father’s lives before the birth of their children.
