<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When her father dies in 1939, Mary's indomitable Irish mother puts a classified ad in the "Bronx Home News": "Furnished rooms! Kitchen Privileges!" Very shortly, there arrives the first in a succession of tenants who will change the lives of the Higgins family and set the young Mary on her start as a writer, while bringing them all a dose of the Christmas spirit.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>Angela's Ashes</i> comes home to the Bronx in a brilliant, touching, charming, and bittersweet account of a childhood during the Depression from America's Queen of Suspense.</b> <p/>Mary Higgins Clark's memoir begins with the death of her father in 1939. With no money in the house--the Higgins Bar and Grill in the Bronx is failing and in debt, and worry about it is one of the things that has killed her father--Mary's indomitable Irish mother (she devotes a chapter to her "Wild Irish Mother") puts a classified ad in the Bronx Home News: "Furnished rooms! Kitchen Privileges!" Very shortly there arrives the first in a succession of tenants who will change the lives of the Higgins family and set the young Mary on her start as a writer, while bringing to them all a dose of the Christmas spirit that seemed to have vanished with Mr. Higgins's death. <p/>Full of hope, faith, memorable characters, and warmth, <i>Kitchen Privileges</i> brings back into sharp, nostalgic focus the feeling of growing up poor, but determined to survive, in a vanished Bronx that was one of white lace curtains instead of a slum, and at a time when everybody was poor and either needed or offered a helping hand.
