My grandmother gave em this book to read and release some time ago, however only after hearing of McCourt's death a couple of days ago am I actually getting around to it. I'll read this book soon.
I've just read this whilst on a trip through Indonesia and Malaysia. This *should* have been one of the most depressing books I've ever read as, the poverty McCourt faced throughout his childhood is simply shocking - particularly when paired with the completely demoralising circumstances of McCourt's father drinking away so many paychecks (and his mother having so many children!). It was far worse than anything I would have imagined. However, McCourt writes about his childhood with such a gentle humor, I was utterly engrossed in this and it gave me a great admiration for him. Altogether, this was a really enjoyable and valuable read for me.
This will now be packed up for fairy-whispers, as part of the VBB-Oz (http://vbboz.blogspot.com/). I hope she finds it as enjoyable as I did.

>^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^ This book is a victim of 'The Great Book Cull of 2018'. The currently accepted cause of this event is thought to be a strict reduction in book numbers and a severe shrinkage of Mt TBR due to an interstate move. Luckily, this book has found a new home with the previous owner's eldest daughter. >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< >^..^< |
