Angela's Ashes : A Memoir by Frank McCourt

"My father and mother should have stayed in New York where they met and married and where I was born. "

Honestly, I don't know that things would have been any better in America. I think Frank's father would have drank no matter where they were, and although their family wasn't enormously helpful, they were a little bit, and that help wouldn't have been there for them in New York.
