Death Need Not Be Fatal
Malachy McCourt
To say
that Mr. McCourt has seen a few things in his eighty plus years is an
understatement. Growing up in poverty in Limerick, Ireland he escaped
back to New York, where he had been born, to find work as a young man
as well as create a new life for himself. Over the course of his long
life, he has managed some things that many only dream of doing, such
as owning a popular bar, appearing on television in a soap opera for
many years as well as writing a best seller or two. In this latest
book he recounts events of his life, giving the reader a glimpse into
a world full of family, friends and a passion for living. His story
is told with great wit and humor, with numerous tragedies that
befell his family conveyed with grace and deep emotion that show a
great strength of character. Once I got started in his story I
couldn't put it down.
