Angela's Ashes
In 1935, when it is more
common for Irish families to leave their famine-stricken
country for America, the impoverished McCourt
family do the reverse.
Following the sudden death
of her 7-week-old daughter, Angela and her unemployable,
alcoholic husband, Malachy Sr. set sail from New York Harbour
to Cork with their four children- Frank, Malachy Jr. and twins
Eugene and Oliver- to return to the land which mystified young
FrankBut, what they were faced with was a land where there
was no work and people were dying of starvation and the
damp.
