Let me put it this way: I bought this in the Hartford airport (never mind that I'd already packed five books to bring with me), read about half of it on the plane to DC, but then when I got to my hotel I thought I'd left it on the plane. I was prepared to walk about nine blocks in freezing cold weather after dark to get to a Barnes & Noble to buy another one so I could finish. But I found it, so no need for a frosty walk. (

It's Angela's Ashes for Girls. This book defines "miserable childhood", in Scotland rather than Ireland, two girls rather than a passel of kids, but a legacy of misery, alcoholism, poverty, and physical abuse. According to the blurb, the author Kerry Hudson (Janie Ryan here) lived through this and came out the other side to write it all down. I will have to head back to Frank McCourt's memoir to see if it is as compelling and well written as this one. There are bursts of humor and the salvations of sisterhood and friendship here, but the mother and grandmother are still far from redeemed. At the conclusion, Janie heads off to London just as her mother did, but the results are obviously much better. There just HAS to be a sequel explaining how such a poor start was turned into such stunning self knowledge and success. Do not miss! (

This is described as a coming of age novel of the main character, Janie Ryan. She is born in Scotland, to a dirt poor, drunk of a mother who is in one bad relationship after another. The story was intense, witty, and incredibly sad all at the same time. It was depressing to see what Janie had to deal with growing up. Janie has the toughest of circumstances. Born into this life, she seems already doomed to just repeat the same cycle of her mother. Janie was such a great character. You can't help hoping throughout the whole story for her to rise above. The story basically starts from the moment Janie is born and follows the next 18 or so years of her life.
The author used the colorful accent and dialogue who would hear in this area. Wish it just had not left me feeling so depressed about her and her families life. (
