Lo es (Tis)

Una memoria (A Memoir)

By Frank McCourt

The Spanish edition of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Tis is the story of Frank McCourt's American journey from impoverished immigrant with rotten teeth, infected eyes, and no formal education to brilliant raconteur and schoolteacher.

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. Tis blesses readers with another chapter of McCourt's story, but as it closes, they will want still more.
