Description

If you live in a RD/ Rural area please pick the postage for that area!! Thanks

Tis feels like a friend, telling the tales of his life over a pint, with charm and humour, economy and pace. There is a sense of loss when you have to close the pages and sleep, or go on to other things. McCourt is a masterful writer... All who read Angela's Ashes will read 'Tis. They will love it, and so did I.' Independent on Sunday

'Few will be able to resist this pacey and fluent sequel... In post-war New York, McCourt moves through work as a longshoreman, a spell in the army, to night-school, to become a creative-writing teacher encouraging kids to "write about what you know" - the same policy that has led him to belated international celebrity... McCourt's gift lies not simply in having lived through interesting times, but in having developed his skills as editor and narrator to produce two fine, funny and moving slices of a past that is not simply Ireland's but everyone's. Guardian

Every page contains an unforced laugh... The gloom is indivisible from moments of great joy and compassion - the sound of jazz pouring from a club, the comforting arm of a fellow worker - which McCourt is able to express in his fresh and supple prose. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, McCourt has the power to transform even the saddest recollections into sentences of great beauty, and in that beauty lies the possibility of salvation.' Mail on Sunday

Full of the narrative brio, the fierce sympathy for human tic and torment, the intuitive feel for character and above all the love of language that made Angela's Ashes such a success.' La Times

Paperback in good read condition.
