Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt

4.0

---

Angela's Ashes provides a unique biographical experience. McCourt tells the story of his early childhood with the voice of an adolescent boy. He stays faithful to the story and the experiences as if he were still in the time instead of forcing adult thoughts into his childhood and teenage activities. He gives a clear and interesting account of Ireland for poor families in the early 1900s. It's simply an excellent example of autobiography.
