Winner of the 1997 Pulitzer Prize

This copy purchased yesterday from the Animal Aid op-shop Sourh Croydon, for local or themed release.

From back cover:
"'Angela's Ashes' is Frank McCourt's sad, funny, bittersweet memoir of growing up in New York in the 30s and in Ireland in the 40s. It is a story of extreme hardship and suffering, in Brooklyn tenements and Limerick slums - too many children, too little money, his mother Angela barely coping as his father Malachy's drinking bouts constantly brought the family to the brink of disaster. It is a story of courage and survival against apparently over-whelming odds."

FYI: Angela's Ashes - IMDb.

Book has been neatly covered to protect it on its journey, with an official BookCrossing sticker on the front.

Book left inside with magazines at around 3.20pm Saturday, March 17 2012.

Happy reading, and happy St Patrick's day !

This book was in CafeZingers about 2 weeks ago left with the newspapers and magazines. I picked it up and thought "what a great idea" travelling books! I have enjoyed it a great deal. Luck there is no camera in the book as I read most of it in the bath. Very relaxing, a bit sad too. I've told my kids all about it, to try to remind them how lucky we are today. Thanks you for the privelegde! I will drop it somewhere in Geelong Monday. It is still in excellent condition.
