About this product

Product Information

From the author of the million-selling Angela's Ashes -- the most keenly anticipated sequel of the decade 'The reader of this stunning memoir can only hope that Mr McCourt will set down the story of his subsequent adventures in America in another book. Angela's Ashes is so good it deserves a sequel.' MICHIKO KAKUTANI, New York Times Angela's Ashes was a publishing phenomenon. Frank McCourt's critically acclaimed, lyrical memoir of his Limerick childhood won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics' Circle Award, the Royal Society of Literature Award and the Los Angeles Times Award amongst others, and rapidly became a word-of-mouth bestseller topping all charts worldwide for over two years. It left readers and critics alike eager to hear more about Frank McCourt's incredible, poignant life. 'Tis is the story of Frank's American journey from impoverished immigrant with rotten teeth, infected eyes and no formal education to brilliant raconteur and schoolteacher. Saved first by a straying priest, then by the Democratic party, then by the United States Army, then by New York University -- which admitted him on a trial basis though he had no high school diploma -- Frank had the same vulnerable but invincible spirit at nineteen that he had at eight and still has today. And 'Tis is a tale of survival as vivid, harrowing, and often hilarious as Angela's Ashes. Yet again, it is through the power of storytelling that Frank finds a life for himself. 'It is only the best storyteller who can so beguile his readers that he leaves them wanting more when he's done...McCourt proves himself one of the very best' (Newsweek). 'Tis blesses readers with another chapter of McCourt's story, but as it closes, they will want still more.

  • Tis

    I watched the film Angela's Ashes first, then read the book. I read the bio on Frank McCourt and it said he greatly exaggerated his dreadful childhood but it was all true. Personally speaking I have no idea how anyone survived conditions like he described. I followed this book up with Tis, again very good but opened ones eyes how he managed to pass his exams, but the way he describes the Marking of Exams it looks as if everyone got a Pass whether they were good or not. I have bought his next book, Teacher and I am half way through this.

  • Entertaining and amusing

    Follow up to Angela's Ashes continuing the story of Frank McCourt's life and his career as a teacher. I found it very entertaining and have now ordered the final book in this trilogy. I like his style of writing as well as the content.
