Singing My Him Song / M McCourt

Malachy’s brother Frank introduced us to the McCourt family in his novel “Angela’s Ashes”. Then Malachy wrote his first novel about his life in America, “A Monk Swimming”...The McCourt family lived a poverty stricken life growing up in Ireland, and when Malachy came to the USA as a young man, he was determined to change all that. He was a bartender, a hooligan, a sometime actor. Unfortunately, he was an alcoholic , too. Divorced from his first wife and estranged from his children , he was spiraling downward.
Down and out and unemployed, you can’t help but rout for Malachy McCourt:)
I loved this book, as I loved reading his first book and his brother Frank’s books. This McCourt boy had a wild and crazy life.
