Rest in Peace
I enjoyed all of his books.
He had a hard life, but made lemonade out of some pretty sour lemons.
BWP is right. He had a childhood none of us could comprehend, with 3 of his siblings dying in childhood. And he came close to dying as well. If memory serves, he barely survived typhoid.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I enjoyed Angela's Ashes but my favorite is 'Tis.
He was a gifted writer and his way of telling a story had me reading with an Irish brogue. He was certainly capable of plucking the old heart strings. I'm sad he's gone.
Angela's Ashes is one of my favorite books. I'm sorry to hear he died.
Agreed. It's one I like to re-read every few years or so.
Rest in peace Mr. McCourt.
