Welcome

The novel that we will be reading this semester is Angela's Ashes, a memoir by Frank McCourt. It was a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for biography, The national Book Critics Circle Award and the Los Angeles Time Book Award. It was also one of the eight best books of the year in the The New York Times Book Review. It has been read by millions of people including myself. I have enjoyed reading about the life of Frank McCourt and I hope you will too.
