A review by donnaj71
Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt

4.0

This was a very sad story about Frank McCourt and his family living in extreme poverty. He tells about his dad and how he would take any money he got and go drink it away while the family starved at home. The family went through many difficult times, including the deaths of several of their children. It was difficult to read about the children starving and living in such filthy conditions. Frank tells about how his father told him stories and songs and I can tell he loved his father despite his failings. Now I want to look up the next book to read more about the life of Frank McCourt after he reaches America.
