Publisher's Summary
Frank McCourt's Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir, movingly read in his own voice, bears all the marks of a classic. Born in Depression-era Brooklyn to Irish immigrant parents, Frank was later raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. His mother, Angela, had no money to feed her children since Frank's father, Malachy, rarely worked, and when he did, he drank his wages. Angela's Ashes is the story of how Frank endured - wearing shoes repaired with tires, begging for a pig's head for Christmas dinner, and searching the pubs for his father - a tale he relates with eloquence, exuberance, and remarkable forgiveness.
What the critics say
"I'd listened to the audiobook which was read by Frank McCourt himself and vibrates with humor, heart, passion, and nostalgia..." (Roger Ebert)

Even Better Read to Me
Loved this!!! I read it after watching the movie first so I could envision it better, but having it read to me made it even more enjoyable. I will definitely go back to it again a few times I'm sure.

Love his voice and accent could listen forever
Amazing story, it could actually be considered tragic and disturbing but because of the authors incredible resiliency, strength, positivity and sense of humour, it was instead a well woven tale of overcoming poverty and extreme hardships and is awe inspiring. Just unbelievable stories and experiences so well told. One of my all time favorite books and authors.
