synopsis
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 Frank had only heard of as 'where there was no work and people were dying of starvation and the damp.'

reviews
The Irish have a long and proud history of storytelling, from earliest mythologies such as the heroic tales of Cú Chulainn and the Fenian and Ulster Cycles to the more modern writings of James Joyce and poet Seamus Heaney. |
