'Marvellous set pieces, delicious humour and an outstanding collection of loonies. McCourt has a genius for mimicry' INDEPENDENTThe sequel to worldwide bestseller Angela's Ashes, Frank McCourt's second volume of memoirs tells the story of his American journey. It follows his progress from impoverished immigrant with rotten teeth, infected eyes and no formal education to brilliant raconteur and schoolteacher (a profession for which his two years spent training attack dogs in Germany during the Korean War was invaluable preparation) Exploited helped and even saved by a cast of New York eccentrics, Frank McCourt continues his vivid, hilarious and harrowing tale of survival. Yet again, it is through the power of storytelling that Frank finds a life for himself.'It is full of a wry, self-deprecating humour... with subject matter so rich it would have done for three volumes' MARGARET FORSTER
