Synopsis:  The story of Frank McCourt's American journey from impoverished immigrant to brilliant teacher and raconteur. Frank lands in New York at age nineteen, in the company of a priest he meets on the boat. He gets a job at the Biltmore Hotel, where he immediately encounters the vivid hierarchies of this "classless country," and then is drafted into the army and is sent to Germany to train dogs and type reports. It is Frank's incomparable voice -- his uncanny humor and his astonishing ear for dialogue -- that renders these experiences spellbinding. By the award-winning author of Angela's Ashes.

Defects: DJ has small dings/rubs; pages have light age-tanning; small faint tan smudge on bottom of page block near spine; book spine ends are lightly bumped.
