Kitchen Privileges: A Memoir

Angelaâ€™s Ashes comes home to the Bronx in a brilliant, touching, charming, and bittersweet account of a childhood during the Depression from Americaâ€™s Queen of Suspense.

Mary Higgins Clarkâ€™s memoir begins with the death of her father in 1939. With no money in the houseâ€”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 fatherâ€”Maryâ€™s indomitable Irish mother (she devotes a chapter to her â€œWild Irish Motherâ€) puts a classified ad in the Bronx Home News: â€œFurnished rooms! Kitchen Privileges!â€ 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. Higginsâ€™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.
