SYNOPSIS
Angela’s Ashes comes home to the Bronx in Mary Higgins Clark’s brilliant, touching, charming, and bittersweet memoir of a childhood during the Depression.
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 out a classified ad: "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.
Full of hope, faith, memorable characters, and warmth, Kitchen Privileges 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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mary Higgins Clark
Mary Higgins Clark (Bronx, 24 de dezembro de 1927 — Naples, 31 de janeiro de 2020), ou a «Rainha do Suspense», como ficaria conhecida, escreveu quarenta romances, quatro coletâneas de contos, um romance histórico, um livro de memórias e dois livros infantis. A quatro mãos com a autora bestseller Alafair Burke, escreveu a série «Sob Suspeita», com títulos como O Assassínio de Cinderela, Toda Vestida de Branco, A Bela Adormecida Assassina, Até ao Último Suspiro ou Eu não Sou Tua, todos publicados pela Bertrand Editora. Em parceria com a sua filha Carol Higgins Clark, é coautora de mais cinco thrillers plenos de suspense. Com um êxito planetário, os seus livros venderam – e apenas nos Estados Unidos – mais de cem milhões de exemplares. Mary Higgins Clark, que durante mais de quatro décadas dominou as listas de bestsellers mundiais, com legiões de fãs que continuam a devorar os seus thrillers de uma penada, criou histórias que, nas suas palavras ao New York Times, fariam o leitor pensar: «Isto podia ter-me acontecido. Podia ser a minha filha. Podíamos ser nós.»
