'Tis

Frank McCourt’s second memoir ‘Tis traces his life from the time he arrives in America as a young man to the death of his parents several decades later. As with Angela’s Ashes, it is delightful story telling, alternately poignant, hilarious, and thoughtful. Interestingly, some of the episodes portrayed in the film version of Angela’s Ashes were taken from this book, rather than the previous one. If you’re interested in the Irish experience, both in Ireland and America, or you just enjoy good storytelling, give this one a read.
